Abstract

Finely-divided grain products in general and grain dust in particular are useful fuels which are advantageously employed in the drying of harvested grain to a moisture content suitable for storage and/or further processing. A grain dryer designed for such fuels provides for preheating and predrying fuel prior to feeding it to a burner.
