Staged pyrolysis   (+1)  [vote for, against]
a. Sterilization with off peak power. b. Pyrolysis and energy generation at peak

Use off peak power to heat up to just below pyrolysis temperature. For manure that would be 250C in a pressure vessel.

Then in the daytime, at peak hours, continue the process with only a small amount of added heat, and use the gasses to further heat the process passing the smoke through plasma pyrolysis or into a smoke catcher.

I think I'll skip the stew at the family potluck this year...
