good day ))
a couple years ago this members of this forum provided great help in building my wood gasifier.
now i would like to share my experience running it to power my household in winter months.
this will be incoherent thread - just some unrelated bits of information
lets start with cleaning routine
hay filter - grey Mobil drum fits nicely in slightly wider Agip drum
bottom part with rubber floor mat as gasket
top part upside down
it usually takes half of a hay bale to refill the filter
usually i leave a layer of coal/ash on the bottom of gasifier for heat insulation
cleaning soot from heat exchanger. silicone rubber used for gasket - it is little too hot for regular rubber there, it hardens over time.
tool for pipe cleaning
stuff that comes out of heat exchanger
most unpleasant part is where soot meets condensate - the cooler
yuck!
