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.-- pashute, Nov 11 2012 I think I'll skip the stew at the family potluck this year...-- Grogster, Nov 11 2012 random, halfbakery
