Ah yes, hide the evidence. I like the way you think : )

Hi Dan,

I am still a little sketchy on what you are looking for. Obviously the cyclone size depends on the engine size and load, not the gasifier. My 1" inlet/outlets like this:

but with professional welding, not my hack job are $200. If you would like the cooling jacket the total is $350. I have four units on the shelf. The fans can be either 115VAC or 12VDC. I have those in stock as well. Did I answer your question?

Stephen

Hi Dan,

Will you have a problem with filter?..I do not understand the question.

The 2" nipple on the bottom is a clean out reservoir. You can add a 2"X3/4" pipe coupling and add a quart Mason jar at your own risk. They work great most of the time but I have had them shatter in very hard sneezes,

I have all these items on the shelf ready go if you want them.

Please call me at 1 (207) 584-3380 so I can be sure I am sending you the correct size.

Stephen
