Good Luck, Man. There’s a lot of choppin’ to be done.

If you need anything while your in town give me a shout. I’m about an hour east but I’m there during the week for work.

Thanks guys and I did get your number Marvin, it does sound like next week will be mostly testing for me with some open time toward the end of week, maybe I can give you a call, thanks for the offer. I am about 600 mile from Nashville going to leave here in the morning. That means I will miss my sat morning ride in the caddy so I’m going to do that this afternoon, after
Gunsomke of course!

Thanks for the video Gary.

I noticed the comments for the video had been disabled . I sure would have like to seen a few .

That thing just ain’t right!

RPMHartman · April 7, 2014, 9:24pm

That’s one of those you call 911 before you start it up!!

RPMHartman · April 9, 2014, 3:06pm

Did a “cold power start”

Hopefully more videos to come but I think I may have lost them!!

http://youtu.be/gY1pV1-ZV_U I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!!!
Kind of like starting this way, no blowers, no valve changes, just have to carry that hot fire!!!

Did a 10 min video but while trying to crop I lost all but this one, it’s the first one of 4, O well.

Thanks for the video Herb !!

You got it going on !

Chris · April 10, 2014, 11:29pm

Moving fast there Herb! Whole new way to “fire it up”!

Carl · April 11, 2014, 2:44am

No stopping a determined wood gasser. Run Herb, run!

Terry_Lavictoire · April 11, 2014, 3:15am

I’m thinking that could be part the Woodgas Olympics

RPMHartman · April 13, 2014, 6:58pm

I think you may have something there Terry, give everyone a stove and a bag of chunks and have at it!!!
I know it’s not any better or faster starting this way just different like Chris said.
I really hate that I lost most of the video, from the time I start on gas to the time it’s running on wood isn’t very long, I will try to do another video this week.

They sent me home while they “evaluate” all my tests, everything"s good!

BillSchiller · April 13, 2014, 7:46pm

That’s good news Herb! I hope all goes well.

Terry_Lavictoire · April 13, 2014, 9:23pm

Good to here you’re Home,
Doesn’t matter how good they treat ya, It’s just like Dorothy said… “There’s no place like home”

Thanks
