GOOD MORNING WAYNE,I woundered what your hay filter temp runs on the silver ram with the short cooling rails,you must be droping a bit of heat inside the heat exchanger allso,SWEM

Hello Kevin .

I can not feel any heat on any of the hay filters . I would expect the temp would be no more than 10-15 degrees above ambient .

Hello Wayne
Every thing is pretty routine here to, 30 to 5o miles a day been running good ,except a few times I about twisted the knob off the fuel pump switch thinking it had to be still running on gasoline.

#55

Hello Mr. Jim .

Yes I know what you are saying about the fuel knob.

When you do put gasoline in the truck do you have to stop a minute and think which side the fuel door is :joy:

Lots of beutifull contryside,nothing but cow pastures every ware, cant wait till i get back too gasifier project.and get a wood chunker built.

Good morning Don.

The 16 inch burn tube is working good. Never had a bridge , it will eat some big fuel without bridging . The problem is with the 16 inch fire tube is the outside container has to be larger than the standard 55 gallon drum .

If I had a supply of reasonably priced large drums I may build another 16 inch gasifier BUT the only drums I can find are 10x the cost of the 55 gallon .
