Thanks again Dave. The saucepan idea is a good idea. Searching around for more information about using TLUD for making charcoal this helps explain how Rindert’s charcoal maker works. I’m not sure if I really understand it but I think the tin can chimney has the secondary burn holes/slots so it doesn’t need the double (or triple) wall like The MIDGE Gasifier Camp Stove. > [@First gasifier project](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/first-gasifier-project/5418/2): > > Hi Marshal, Welcome. I don’t pretend to be a great brain in gasification, but I will say its not that hard to just get an engine running. I have this ancient Gillette 3000 watt generator. I finally made something out of an old pipe. The one thing I did right was learn to make good charcoal first. My neighbor has a decripit old apple tree that he said I could have all the dead stuff from just for cutting it off and getting rid of it. So I started making charcoal for my barbque.

Any how, here are pictures of my afterburner chimney. The idea is to let a lot of air in at the bottom of the chimney so all the smoke gets burned up. A windscreen keeps it from blowing out. And Bobmack is right, the smoke from wet wood just won’t stay lit.

So adding secondary air would not create a secondary burn. With a tlud all of the primary air is forced to go through the stack of burning fuel. This creates an oxygen starved environment and therefor a rich smoke that will burn when oxygen is added to it.
