snot a bad idea..... ya want to get to the street side (the trap is a water vapor lock, gas check whatever) and really tap into the " me thane "... on another note, for years the Albany, NY dump had vents to burn off the gas... the dump was right at an toll interchange and was quite interesting to see the patches of blue flame as one drove by...   klc

Ed,

Hmm well, it might be more efficient to ferment BS... as it is so much more plentiful..

Actually the gas producer I was talking about, burns the waste, the smoldering material produces flamable gases.... but not methane.

The most impressive gas burnoffs I've ever seen were in the middle east.  They had BRIGHT flames that were 3 or four stories tall at times.
Great beacons in the desert.  Imagine the waste of natural gas.   I was told they don't process it because Oil is so much cheaper and easier to deal with.  So they just Burn off the natural gas that is forcing the oil up to the surface....   what a waste!
