Hi Tone, nice gasifier! I’m very interested how the nozzle design works, it is similar to what Max Gasman has suggested years ago, but no one (as far is I know) has ever tried it. > [@Charcoal bell nozzle](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/charcoal-bell-nozzle/2319): > > Just want to post this, since I drew it for Max last night. His thinking is, the bell shape would create a cavity, shielding the nozzle tip from direct contact with the glowing coals, and preventing nozzle erosion. If the bell is wide enough, it will also be outside the hot zone. Max had previously drawn this one, same concept. Seems simple to make, maybe somebody should try one. I’m only afraid, that your grate (the slits in the wall) will get blocked by ash and that they are hard to clean. Nevertheless, good work and I’m looking forward to see more of it! --- _[View the full topic](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/charcoal-making-anecdotes/2364)._
