Thank you for your question, Woody! I'm sorry but I imagine that the only bioconversion systems ready for household use are composting devices (composters, composting privies etc.) that don't produce methane enough for use. Horse manure or sawdust are excellent composting media, especially together with enough water, and they could be used for producing energy e.g. in greenhouses. - Juhani Tenhunen <bioconversion moderator>
