Hi All,
Finally got the gardening caught up, that is something that grows so it can’t be put off without a bigger headache later. I thought I’d share my filter design and packing with all of you. Basically, the gas comes in the many holed pipe at the bottom and hits several plates that deflect it ( I hope) to expose it to as much of the pine needles as possible. The many holed pipe also has a small hole on the tapered end. The first circle spreads it out and the half circles deflect it side ways in a serpentine path. The layers are 6 to 8 inches thick. Then there is a 4" thick open cell foam disc at the top covered with a vacuum cleaner paper final filter. Note I weighted down the paper filter this time so it doesn’t get sucked right up tight to the outlet pipe (see reply 240). Hope to put a fire in it real soon. I still have work to do on an engine but I can still burn a flare for s&g’s.
