Oh and yeah networking multiple units is part of the plan. An I4 will be too big for this little gasifier its only 9 inches in its diameter. But you could team two or three together and network them into the barrel filter. This will add hopper capacity and refueling on the fly as you can refuel one at a time while the others keep things going.
If this design works it will more than likely find its way into the next generation DFX Gasifier. But need to build, test and see if it even works.
OK matt i see your m-2 gasifier on vidio running your 8750 inverter generator- Seems too really work well-nice size gasifier ,running the 8750 generator- welding quite well. Nice generator set up welding and powering your shop with DIY charcoal-home made power-NICE GASIFIER UNIT.
Unifire has a real nice ring to it , in fact the more i say it the more suited it is to what your going to be building fingers crossed it will perform as you intend .

Ok well I couldnt help myself. Had to get this thing out of my head and into a model. So if the HF Gasifier is successful, then this will be the direction for the next generation DFX. It would make a true dual fuel machine if the concept works. This is just a rough draft there is ton more detail I need to add but had to get the basic construction down.
Your a bloody tease you know that Matt , hurry up work faster less sleepin more weldin go man go , you don’t have time to eat go go go
Lol
Dave
We have parts for the DIY Weld kit just about ready. Planning to start the video segments this weekend 
That’s fantastic Matt , i have a whole bunch of people over here that would like to have a go at building something like this for themselves , cant wit to show them once its been given your seal of approval .
Btw what or how did you come by the part that’s in front of the ammo can looks like maybe the top from a gas bottle / tank tapering down ?
Dave
Its a 6 X 2 Stainless Steel Butt Weld pipe reducer. They are over $250 bucks. This was the core of our old units, I this one left so Im going to use it in this build. We will not offer this with our kits the user will need to buy them on thier own.
Cheers Matt , i will start the search over here to see if there are any mild steel options , might even be able to use one as a mould and try using refractory in its place maybe .
Dave
You dont need it; its optional. This gasifier will be line with ceramic refractory cloth.
Ok finnished the first segment of the build. Here I section the HF tank weld up the flanges, jet ports and the flange adapter for the ash clean out.
Build Video part 2. (actual building)
Nice start Matt , I have some stainless steel sleeves at the yard with very small flanges on top and bottom that might work instead of the HF tank , shall wait for the other video’s to come and see if i can get someone to use one of them to follow your build .
Dave
Here is part 3 of the build
Part 4
You guys building charcoal with water injection might want to watch this one. I show you a very detailed construction of our nozzle system.
These are the clearest build videos for this type of system I have seen. Hopefully you will have a lot of success marketing these components. It puts the possibility of a home power fuel system within the reach of the average person who may not have the know how or tools to come up with the formed components. Much appreciated. A list of user purchased parts and suppliers would be good. I would like to see what you use to roll those flanges.
You can buy them from Grainger. https://www.grainger.com/search/hvac-and-refrigeration/ventilation-equipment/ductwork-venting-fittings-and-caps/duct-fittings?tv_optin=false&searchQuery=Angle+flange&searchBar=true&tier=Not+Applicable
Well today was quite the success. That thing ran and ran and ran. I ran it for an hour and then shutdown to let the generator cool with no gasoline run. Came back in 15 minutes and it fired right up on gasoline ( no valve stickage!!) However I did this test with 50/50 mixture of charcoal and woodchips. I then checked the hopper and it only half down or half full depending on you look at things. lol. So fired her back up and ran it out. It finally died while I was editing the video and when I checked the hopper it ran right down to the jets. No automation here on this one and the grate is static.
So this will lead to our next step in development and I will create this into a new product. I plan to revise the current DFX and simplify its construction. It will be the CFX next year and marketed as a dedicated charcoal gasifier. The new model that I introduce for 2024 will have this reactor system and it will be the DXF. (Dual Cross Fuel) gasifier. So some reshufling of the letters lol. But its no longer a crossdraft unit.
I still need to put this through the test yet. Tomorrow I will be running in charcoal mode and probably run quite few runs to test for clinker build up and to learn how to service the unit to get those things out. I dont think they will form past the restriction so they should be easy to dig out if they form.
Video uploading now. Im pretty happy with todays results
