“We need to remember that if this was a charcoal gasifer the nozzles will melt at the tips.”

You sure about that?

Mute the sound, mi microphone was dead. Anyways, you can see even after many miles of charcoal use and abuse, the nozzles are intact. All but one that is, that was my fault (wrong light-port position). The only reason the gaifier was scraped was due to a crack above the actual gasifier. Otherwise it was a beast of a machine…

Edit:

Ha, right at the end of the video, you see the birth of the double flute downdraft gasifier idea! Unfortunaly l never (yet) got to building it…
