Well I will be a NO SHOW. I pulled a muscle in my neck and am too stiff to drive safely. It is getting better, but not that good for making the trip to Argos. My regards to you all. I even upgraded the filtration on my Ford Ranger in anticipation of going to Argos. Here is a picture of it that was inspired by Kristijan’s filter design.

The chargas goes from the 55 gallon drum through the cooler to condense out water, then through the 4" PVC on the cab roof. It enters the one leg where stainless steel scrub pads are placed. At the passenger side the gas makes a right angle to where the suctio fan is located. It then goes into the forward most PVC where there is a 2" PVC pipe, perferated by many 1/2" holes and wrapped in a wool blanket. This is the piece you see laying just above the windshield. The gas then goes past the flare and to the engine. I have not tried it out yet other than idling. Argos was to be the first real test but that has now fallen through. Hopefully I can get back to using this truck and post more on the Ford Ranger thread in the near future.

I have 1 - 3" cooling rack pipe above the F250 cab and at any speed above about 40 MPH it makes a loud rumble sound.
Those cab roofs make a great wind instrument but only a slight distraction when DOW!
See you tomorrow with the world’s most indestructible air cleaner housing ever built in the woodgas world.

I am sitting by the stove, enjoying the Seattle rain through The window and wishing I had loaded up 3000+ lbs of wood chunks for the long drive to Argos
Please keep the pics coming

Sure wish we could have made the trip but due to motorhome
problem at the last minute we had to cancel the trip. We hope to make it there next year.

This years Argos was a blast with many serious woodgassers always willing to share their knowledge. The weather really cooperated this time around. Thank you once again to the Lemlers for hosting this show and for the super dry bags of chunks I got to take home. Thanks to the ladies for all the food. I’ll be making Wayne’s T shape shaker pole for easier light up and using Chris S’s method of transitioning between gasoline and woodgas operation. Anybody attending these shows will always learn something new. See you all next year!

I was disapointed that I could only come down for the day on Friday and missed seeing some of you. Still, I had a good time and learned some stuff and got inspired again.
