Hi Hank, I like it a lot. If I’m not mistaken those are pretty sturdy ships, close to chunks. That’s good. What wood size is that chipper able to handle? Does it handle dry wood too? I ask because the drying process usually gets trickier with smaller fuel.
JO,
the one with wood chunks and gasifier but not enough places to go

Hoy Jan-Ola,
nice to meet you,
Here’s a picture so you can get an idea about the size..
my hands are abnormally huge 😆
![20180730_084923[1]](http://forum.driveonwood.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/3/735e4ad0fa5b1ef1eed869e9e8603da3f5113723.jpg)
It can handle about 12 cm wet and 10 cm dry wood..
I wanted to post a video but couldn’t…
You can always get a refill at my place (if you like my chunks ?!?) when you pass by Belgium!
Henk

I do like your chunks. They are about the avarage size I’m running.
Yes, please post a video. It has to be uploaded to Youtube. Then just copypaste a link into here. It’s the only way.
Haha, thank you. Good to know If I’m ever going south.

Hi Micheal,
try directly the Czech manufacturer:
[http://www.bystron.cz/en/](http://www.bystron.cz/en/)
Go to wood chippers for cutting length 8 cm and wood block chippers for cutting length 15 cm. They have prices in Euro, but I don’t know if shipping to the US is possible.

About 5 years ago there was a talented young man at Argos with a woodgas pickup truck that was first fired there. In the back of the truck in a sack he pulled out the screw of the screw chipper that he was going to make. His craftsmanship was to be admired!

When I bought the chopper, I compared this chopper to the one I bought, this one has a double helix, they have a single one, this one has a rotor mounted on one side, they have a support sliding bearing on the other side, otherwise they are very similar.
