Hmm. I was going to just PM you the info Tone to not distract from Kenneth’s information search. But now two others asking wanting to know now too. My pictured-up Victory model hearth and hopper were the first of this series. An experimental model type Ben Peterson built up ~2010. Was much modified, changed, evolved over two years into the later production model units. It had been built of set aside scrapped out previous larger Offgrider and other early all-SS model units. Mines five jets. Production were 20% enlarged with six jets. Mine has the hearth to hopper flange just above the jets line. Production this was moved up 100mm to not then need expensive die cut super heat resistant flange seals. Mine has multiple testing ports and input-output ports piercing through the double walled insulation jackets. Production units not having these heat loss energy bleeds; and potential temperature differential spanning, later welds cracking air leaks. My on DOW picture are buried now back on previous pre-DruPal format topics. Or on my earlier Apple and Google/Chrome computers failed transferred to memory sticks. For the actual dimensions and relative picture see on Dean Lasko’s topic: > [@Newbie from canada](https://forum.driveonwood.com/t/newbie-from-canada/6678): > > Hello all long time reader to dow , just recently bought Wayne’s book, tho haven’t got it yet but have premium now, I’m from saskatchewan Canada, and and starting a imbert style generator gasifier to start with, I’m gonna build a wk in near future if I can find a donor truck , read dam near every thread on reg forum and looking forward to talking you you guys thanks Dean Internally dimension out of BenP’s later evolved Woodgas Builders Bible book. One hour searching back on the DOW topic for my old pre-2015 pictures I found these pictures; > [@SOLD: Unused Victory Gasifier](https://forum.driveonwood.com/t/unused-victory-gasifier-for-sale/4145): > > Hey Guys, I bought a Victory Gasworks Gasifier new for 12K in 2011 and have been storing it. I am moving back to Hawaii and solar is much more practical there. This thing has a 3.5 Kw Kubota genset and I have never even unwrapped the thing. It is in Champaign, Il. and would need to be picked up. Make me an offer. I am not shipping this thing back to Hawaii![download (1)] This is a pic from the internet showing the setup. I never even unwrapped it. It is still on tbe pallet in Champaign. … A Hottwatt model ~1/3 the size and maximum callability of a standard sized Victory model hearth system. (Ha! Lots in this this picture. See the V-shaped swirl flare? My remote mounted mixer experiment? See its engine exhaust air preheating so the air temp matched the cooled woodgas Temp. And more. My own persoanla Shop-vac electrical generator system loaders. My own back-pac firing up quick NOW! torch set.) Then the same mini-unit later sold and owned now by Paul O’Brien: > [@Unused Victory Gasifier. Paid 12k](https://forum.driveonwood.com/t/unused-victory-gasifier-paid-12k/5349/7): > > I moved the Lister engines for Rick. Real English listers he imported from Africa after they were rebuilt for him. Rick told me they were from the 1950s. They have Lister Petter stickers from a dealer on them probably from the rebuilt. The 6 hp single cylinder is a tad over 700 pounds. The 16hp is over 1100 pounds. I am sure Rick had a small fortune invested in the rebuild and all the moving. He decided to go solar for electric generation rather than the gasifier. I probably won’t have a lot of… Ha! Ask him for internals pictures. I am not “perrrr-fect” system chaser. Not in gasifiers, cars, chainsaws, or women. I am very much a can make work kinnda’ guy. Now for bicycles, hand wood splitting mauls and wedges: I am very very picky. A Perfectionist chaser. Details there makes for significant performance changes. Steve unruh --- _[View the full topic](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/building-a-power-house/7011)._
