Wayne, I was thinking on coming down some day and visit you all in your part of the country. If I do I better stop by your place first. And may be think of stopping by the Norths after that. I am sure the North family only sleeps a couple hours a week between them all. Hard working people for sure, and God Blessing them all the way.

Not as much as we would like. but we have been under a deadline so we are pushing for a while.
I was able to spend a couple days cleaning up my place some.
I tore out and processed some tongue and groove pine out of a few rooms.
I have since burnt another old barn on it but forgot to take pictures.

Yeah, how did you know? We’ve had thaw and then freezing again. Everywhere is like a skating rink. Also, I wouldn’t mind some sunlight and get rid of my long-johns

Because we are in the same shit we got a real winter after many years. Over 2 feet of snow thats here to stay. In a way lm glad, nature needed this. The dry winters we had lately started to show with water reserves, many springs got dry.

Consider all the snow a blessing of water on the land for this year. When you live in a aired dry places where I live it is all good for the plant life to grow. Oh yes I am looking foreward to spring with the rains that it will bring too.

Hello Guys
I am working on a charcoal gasifier to power a 6.5 hp (212 cc) engine from harbor freight.
I am basically copying Kristijans BCS build.
I built it for four nozzles. At this point i have them drilled out to 5/16 (8mm).
Is that big enough?
It that enough air coming in?
Also I plan to put a solid grate in it.
Should the grate be all the way up on the bottom of the firetube or should it have a gap for char to slip passed like in a WK?
@KristijanL @Tone @Matt
I will try to post pictures and videos later.

Yeah thats about right for air intake.
I have a 4 inch chamber under the grate for char bed servicing and clean out. Ive added a door to access this grate and simply pull it back to allow packed char down and then shove it back in. Then you drag out what dropped out into the chamber and it should be back to free breathing again.

My bcs is 470cc and l got 5 6mm nozzles so you are good there.
I got a rebar grate just welded on the bottom, fixed. No char sliped. Eventualy it needs a good poking but those litle engines burn so litle fuel and with charcoal you dont need to worry about the charbed so just poke the hell out of it every few hours and youre good.
