Someone on here did something similar a while back, but I don’t remember who, and I don’t think we really found out if it worked or not. I’m thinking “tuyere-less charcoal gasifier” or something. I recall that they removed the valve stem from a moderate sized propane tank, cut a door in the bottom of the tank, pounded a wooden dowel into/through the valve stem bung, turned the entire thing upside-down, and poured in an inch or 2 thick layer of refractory into the bottom (formerly the top of the tank) around the dowel. Once everything is set, the dowel was removed, leaving a hole in the refractory, much like a magma vent under a volcano. I found the link (super easy) [Tuyere-less charcoal gassers](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/tuyere-less-charcoal-gassers/824) it looks like it was @Jeff who made this, and luckily he’s still around here, unlike a few too many creative souls. --- _[View the full topic](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/simple-fire/398)._
