Bagasse is the word, but it means the pulpy stalks only AFTER the =20
juice has been pressed out. I wonder what the burned but not pressed =20
stalks are called?

To jump to your firewood observation, some smaller wood is chipped for =20=

the manufacture of wood pellets =96 this might be where you firewood =20
supplier's small wood is going. I know this is done in New Brunswick. =20=

This was triggered when the US housing market collapsed, causing =20
closure of lumber mills in NB, reducing the supply of sawdust for =20
pellets.

Some pellets are exported to Europe from New Brunswick.

Cheers,
