Just curious. Has anyone used a type of pipe fitting called a Stub End as a fire tube?

It looks a little pricey but I don’t see why it would not work.

That’s what I thought too. But this particular one is 304 stainless. I think a carbon steel one should be a lot less. I’m still searching.

Yes, 409 stainless steel would be great. Like they use for mufflers and exhaust pipe.

I’ve been having a little trouble with the throttle plate staying in open position lately. I’ve been cleaning the tb inside and lubing the outer plastic slide washers and springs with no success.
Today I dripped a little nail polish remover on the axle from the inside, blew some compressed air to make it penetrate and exercized it a bit. Wolaa - as good as new right away.
I guess I must have made some tary fumes at some point. Too long cold gasifier idling, too much debrie in the fuel, too many gasifier pullstarts or a combination of those. When I removed the tb the soot buildup wasn’t fluffy as it usually is, but a little sticky and crumbling.
I cleaned the second spare tb the same way and I can make a fast swap if it happens again.

Ha, luckily with woodgas there’s no danger with a stuck open throttle. There are so many ways making the truck slow down

Bob wouldn’t it be easier to simply put the cell phone in your shirt pocket?
Nail polish remover is acetone, I posted some where that it was the only thing I could get to remove tar from the roof, and back window of the Ranger.

Right, I remembered reading about acetone for tar removal but not when and where. This bottle said free from acetone but worked just as well anyway.

Metil etil ketone is usualy the component then. As long as it works!
I have a trick of my own to report. I got sick and tired from those crapy potato pealers constantly breaking. So l forged my own

Did you sacrifice the silverware?
I find the quickest (and beardiest) way of pealing potatoes is pressure washing them into a bucket.

Yes. And attach a toilet brush to a drillmachine. You can choose a new or already used one.

Could anyone recommend a good fiberglass blanket ou silica cloth bag filter, for a charcoal gasifier filter?
I’m afraid the flame retardant welding blankets are too rough for this job!
