I’m glad to report that we are shooting for the 8"x36"x36" gasifier, and we are moving forward with the gasifier workshop - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/OpenSourceEcology/posts/10153945206771562) .

Does anyone have technical plans available for a continuous DIY charcoal production system? I’ve seen the discussion at [Making charcoal continuously - #8 by freedombiomass](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/making-charcoal-continuously/1636/8) . We are considering a taller system that augers wood into the top, and augers charcoal out the bottom. But at the same time, it would be nice to wrap a helical 1/2" pipe heat exchanger around the flame for house heating. That would be great for winter house heat with combined fuel generation for MicroTractors and MicroCars.
