I like burning wood

Mr Wayne,
There’s something special about the sound of a motor purring on woodgas. Especially a V10.

I envy your weather situation. Today after waking up from a nightshift I hurried to haul a load of firewood home, because the rest of this week it’s forcasted snow slusch.
The most intense memory from our short stay in Alabama, which I will keep for as long as I live, is your porch shower. I liked that a lot. The piping wouldn’t like that kind of arrangement up here 10 months outof 12. I’m a fan of skinny dips in our river, but I don’t like the 11 months wait to be able to survive them.

Thanks for the video.

Dragging wood with wood

New muffler

Truck sounds a little different .

I made a couple trips to the cattle auction today with the ram v-10 . I think I was the only person hauling with a wood burner

Buying or selling? ? ? ? ?

Wayne · October 14, 2019, 11:05am

Good morning Don.

I sold a few and I made one trip for a friend selling a few .

It has been about 14 or 15 years that I made the 30 mile round trip on gasoline

Mr. Wayne, what makes the ground around your truck ‘‘shine’’? TomC

Wayne · October 14, 2019, 4:37pm

Hello Mr. Tom.

Yesterday we got a little rain ( just enough to cancel the Talladega 500 race just down the road ) and forecast for more tomorrow. We need it !!

I’ve watched some of your films Wayne, don’t you have to have the spring on the cover of your unit?
Don’t you ever get overpressure?

Wayne · February 10, 2020, 8:35pm

Hello Jan .

Yes , all of my gasifiers have a spring loaded lid ( actually right under the lid ) .

During the light up and worming of the gasifier about 5-10
% of the time I will get a small belch just enough to counter the springs tension.

50,000 wood gas miles on this ole truck now.

Jan · February 11, 2020, 5:01am

Oh now I see, you have springs all around, instead of on the top cover.
Thanks Wayne.

Wayne · February 11, 2020, 1:42pm

Yes that is correct Jan.

The top of the fuel hopper will vent very easily

Because of covid -19 we haven’t been out on the road traveling very much but a lot of time have been spent in the pastures and fields DOW.

Yesterday we spent two hours straight letting the truck idle on wood while out in the fields cutting thistle weeds .

mggibb · April 19, 2020, 2:42pm

Squeaky door hinge gets the oil?
I have never been able to get my truck to idle at 600 rpm for more than about 5 min. Very impressive.

kmrland · April 20, 2020, 2:48am

Hey Wayne, that’s one of my home cancer medicines. Been used for food and medicines for a long long time. I think it makes me a bit dizzy, or at least, I hope that is what causes that.

And a photo, of the back yard, from last week:

Time for a drink of tree fungus !

Stay healthy and safe ! !
