Thanks Rindert. I’ll search for that later tonight.
Right now I’m still fascinated with this whole idea of making usable fuel from scrap wood and am documenting my build for my own use as well as for others that might want to do this.
I see I got the new user of the month badge for last month.
I knew I was posting a lot and reading even more but didn’t realize I spent 5 days in a month reading posts.
I really hope this encourages others to give this a shot. I’ve been interested in wood gasification for over 30 years but Gary’s simple fire design and using charcoal instead of raw wood was the thing that finally got me success.
I’m sure I’ll eventually slow down with my posting but I doubt I’ll stop using some form of wood /charcoal gas. I’m spending a lot of time getting my process figured out and experimenting but it’s like I asked Gary. You aren’t just playing around with this are you? You actually USE this thing right? His answer was that the last time his wood splitter run on gasoline was when his neighbor borrowed it.
Seeing Gary’s gasifier in person and seeing just how fast he was able to light it and start splitting wood made it look almost as easy as dumping $4/gallon gasoline in it and it is running on fuel that I can easily make myself.
EDIT to keep from making another post:
