I have been to land auctions , estate auctions , equipment auctions, car and truck auctions , cattle, horse and mule auctions but never a chicken auction until last week my son talked me into going with him.
Seems like a wood burning truck fits right in the picture . LOL
In most cases the fuel cost to the event would have been more than the livestock traded . But not in our case .
Not to argue, but I donât think those are chickens⌠Pheasents and ducks, I do believe. 
Hey BrianWA are you calling foul on the Fowl Auction?
Looks like fair fowl to me.
S.U.
S.U.: Damned straight Iâm calling foul! I hope that in my âcalling foulâ I can help Wayne avoid a âfoul fowl foul-upâ!
Hopefully, everyone at the Fowl Auction was âflying levelâ and not playing fowl!
Ok, Iâm done with the bird puns. (for now)
Actually those are guineas.
Cousins to the pheasant - hollow boned and very flight capable - about half wild. They will stay around for the most part, and are excellent grasshopper and snake control, as well as watch âdogâ. Tend to roost in trees where they become owl prey. Well-hidden ground nests are very susceptible to fire ants.
Will scratch in the dirt, but wonât bother your garden produce unless there is absolutely nothing else for them to eat.
Very tasty if you get 'em young. All dark meat, just like a pheasant, although you will likely have to âhuntâ them with a .22 rifle to catch one.
Hello Brian ,
What Alex said .
My son and his friend sold a few chickens and bought more guineas.
The guineas are kinda like a watch dog . If anything is out of the ordinary around home they will raise hell .
are good tick hunters too!
The guinea watch dog call
buck-wheat, buck-wheat, buck-wheat
Just a typical Sunday morning,
Smiling with every mile
Itâs nice to view your highway speed expectation going up a long hill without bringing in âanxious fuelâ to be normal traffic. I have not been on Sunday drives since the early 1970âs in my Dadâs 429 cu in Mercury Marquis. I still know odd back roads from touring in the back seat during classic America.
Wow how time flies !!
Today I realized it had been 8-9 months since I posted on this thread .
On the way back from town I pulled out the camera and filmed a couple of miles . The Ram is still alive and running great.
Nice vidio driveing the oversize burn tube tunned too around 450 f, is that truck moveing the char ok, or have too use that WK grait shaker more ofton.THANKS WAYNE/CHRIS/ AND BETTER HALFS. Glad you and chris got the site going.
Hello Kevin ,
I don,t need to use the grate shaker much on any of the trucks. At each cold start up of the gasifier if the fire is started at the grate this will burn and clean away the fines . As long as I am driving no more than 75-100 miles with each cold start up I canât remember having to activate the shaker . Also on much longer trips if the gasifier is kept up to a good operating temp there may be no need for the shaker .
If one is having to use his shaker too much he may want to increase the size of his fuel .

Thanks again for the knowlege and vidios are better than thousand words.I get my truck done few more weeks i will make a driveing vidio,my used cameraâs are in the mail,hope they are good for while,the MP are only 3 and 5 mega pixels.
I fired the Ram this morning before day light and took a trip into town to the coffee shop and this afternoon the wife and I went out visiting. It has been raining all day and not a lot I want to do outside except burn a little wood.
