Don, I canāt say I noticed a difference in the exhaust sound other than the occasional miss. But my ears arenāt what they used to be. 
Iāll pay more attention next time.
Jan, yes I had created a thread here:

Pretty normal itās the slower flame speed woodgas is more of a āWHOOSHā in the cylinder where gasoline is a āBANGā
Every engine I have run on wood takes on a very smooth even hum, even the v8 Toyota with a choppy aggressive camshaft and flow master mufflers with short pipes. Truthfully it mitigated any benefit the cam had on gasoline and it drive much more like a stock v8

Hi all I apologize for the radio silence
Unless im crazy I think I saw Wayne driving his second Gen north bound on the highway to terre haute indiana
Last year I had a Saturday class I had to attend and thatās why I didnāt go to the meet up. Ive had to lock into both class and work and also being very unhappy living at home so I was able to buy a house on almost 5 acres with a pole barn so ive been busy with house stuff and other projects that have taken priority
Also the rear end blew up on the dakota

Hate to hear about what happened to the Dakota, I hope you can get it rebuilt or find a replacement for cheap.
Glad to see you back, though!

Corey you might need to reduce the size of the pictures. I have an app on my cellphone that lets me do that. Just called Photo Compressor. If you get it below 500kb itāll upload easier.

The weather is getting hot, especially afternoon temperatures are rising above 30Ā°C, otherwise this is not a problem for working with wood gas, but the plastic parts cannot withstand higher temperatures, at 60Ā°C this pipe becomes soft,ā¦ there is more in the dark than a gas tractorā¦ Tractor with gas? - #1702 by Tone

It took a long time, many hours on it. You make woodgas look easy.

We are having similar temperatures, Tone. Predicted high of 32Ā°C with 60% humidity. Or as we call it in the South, a normal day in June.
Itās hot even with trees and clouds giving shade. My dehumidifier in the basement is working overtime today.

tone, wasnĀ“t last year also a heat problem with the hose?,
maybee the pipe diameter of the cooler pipes are too big- and number of pipes too less?
yesterday i found on internet market place 2 cm diameter pipes with 37 cm lenght, 1 mm materialā¦this should be good for coolers, i have ordered some for our next projectsā¦i tink also for a cooler with 2 pipe linesā¦
at the pasquali cooler the pipes have 0.6 mm, thin material is good for cooling, especially in stainless with his low heat conductivity,
the gasifiers are so satisfying with its stong coal gas ( actually mowing and carrying hay) so we cannot resist to build moreā¦

There is something about those eyes. Old soul.
I agree with giorgio about the stones. I have scavenged all the useable ones on my property and enjoyed everything I built with them but sadly all I have left is crappy limestone.
