I was thinking about using an open top steel barrel on it's side to dry out firewood in the sun.  I shall do some science and post back. Weigh it before and after a week is what I had in mind.

Do you mean to say dishes can be cleaned and reused? This will save me a fortune. I have been throwing them out the window like Lisa on Green Acres. Actually I have a broken dishwasher I use for storage and a point of use water heater. If I ever have more than 10 items to wash it is unusual. I stack plates, bowls then silverware. I run the tap on low for a few minutes while I scrub. Maybe 4 gallons tops. The grey water feeds the trees.

This guy uses gelatin to settle out the nasty stuff in used cooking oil to make a lovely lamp oil.  I think glycerin is the gummy bit that fouls the wick.
