Abstract
A hog fuel board is made by placing a hog fuel matrix with flexible non-sticking layers on outside surfaces between screens in a preheated platen press and pressing the matrix to preset stops and for a predetermined time and pressure to cause adhesives naturally present in the hog fuel to disperse throughout the board. The process requires heating platens higher than used for particle board but avoids using a vacuum press. There is also supplied a hog fuel veneer board with a hog fuel matrix sandwiched between veneer sheets and a lumber product with a hog fuel coating thereon.
