Thanks Wayne! Wonderful scenery.
I was shoveling chunks yesterday and I’m glad I did, because this it what we woke up to this morning.

While out riding this morning I open the throttle some and let the gasifier breath just a little

85 and 3/4 throttle, camera bouncing like it is blasting into outer space—show off! BUT you do have something to show off, and you show it well—definitely a success story. Thanks for the ride.

Today, I finally did the CharCar trip to what I consider to be my hometown, Clarksville, Virginia. Last fall I first attempted the trip, but didn’t make it out of Oxford, North Carolina, due to a broken timing belt. This is my first trip refilling on the road and continuing on. It was about 25 miles each way. I was surprised that the system was no warmer when I got home than it was when I refilled in Clarksville. I was quite pleased. I was also surprised by the “puff” as soon as I removed the lid to refill, and I think I heard the sound of it echoing off of surrounding buildings. I had good power and no problems encountered for the entire trip. The SimpleFire continues to perform flawlessly. Thank you Gary Gilmore.

Hello all .
Hope everyone had a good Fathers Day.
Wife and I did a little running around today.
Fired the V-10 and road into town to get some diesel for my JD and while out ran by to visit my brother for a while.
Switched over to my Sunday truck and ran by Walmart. I think I was the only wood burner in the parking lot.
Then on to visit my Dads grave . He missed getting to ride in a woodgas truck by only 4-5 months .
Visited both of wife’s parents grave site .
Then to my Mom’s house to spend some time with her .

Running some errands one direction before going to work the other. Managed to do away with some extra woodchunks. Also, I caught a small car accident on tape.

Thanks guys!
Don, I like the chippers to be able to beat me to those brush piles. On sunny days and if I’m not in a hurry, I sometimes do stop and top up my chunk bags with leftover chips - a la Joni
Wayne, about the bumper-crash. With your lifestyle in mind I thought it may be of interest that the Swedish word for bumper translates to “cow-catcher”
Marcus, I look forward to Norman89-videos on this thread.

Funny that you call it a cow catcher
The front end of an old steam locomotive was called a Cow Pusher

A ride in the car to Hörken and watching the sheep in the morning, sorry for the quick end, but my phone did not want to film anymore.

Very good video Jan. I like it a lot.
Yes, fuelsize is the king.
So, did the wolf visit your sheep or not?
Btw, we went for a 240km trip to Fagersta and back Saturday, to visit friends. Gasoline used was probably about half a cup

It went well with the wolves this time too, I think many have moved south. How many hoppers of firewood did you consume in 240 km?

I hope the wolfs all moved down to Stockholm. They really like them down there
We consumed about one and a half hopper each way. I save bags with 100% birch chunks for longer trips like that.
