Tom, that was Dan Moore’s stove. I took a top down picture of it.


The inner barrel stands off the bottom and has a 2 inch hole at bottom center. A piece of 2" pvc maintains a center hole while sawdust is packed around it. After it is pulled out the fire can be lit by dropping lit paper down the hole. There was a top cover on the outer barrel and an inlet air pipe on the bottom capped off at shut down That thing seemed to burn all day and gave off good heat.

Little Jesse North built a complete gasifier on the grounds at Argos out of a paint can, pop can and some pipe fittings and a tinfoil heat shield. He had two pop bottles for primary and final filters and could explain the whole gasification process. That gave me a lot of confidence in the upcoming younger generation.

Don’s truck has to one of the most popular builds. I know it is at the top of my list. I can’t believe I didn’t ask for a ride. Maybe next year.

And then there is these two guys. They are actually the root cause of most of our problems burning wood (if not for them a lot of us wouldn’t be having any problems driving on wood…lol) but then again they are also who we look up to for the solutions. Big thanks to both of you.
