Wood gas stove or “Let’s make some Wood gas II”

hiramcook asked:


This time I’ve made a small stove to burn wood chips using what I think is the wood gas method. This is my first try. Sorry I didn’t time it because the handful of wood burned much longer than I expected, more than 15 minutes. At the end all I had was maybe a teaspoon of ash. If you want more info let me know.

    Thanks. That’s good to know and keep in mind. In this case I just used some pine 2×4 scrap I had around the house.

    Id watch what you use because you cant just go and throw salt treated lumber in and use it, for one that would be dangerous, and two certain types of wood will actualy give you a different amount of burnable wood gas

    Sorry man you are just increasing combustion due to an increase in air flow similar to how a blast furnace works. You are not generating wood gas and then reburning that gas to heat your water. You are doing one step similar to a campfire only slightly more efficient.

    Stove would capture the initial combustion you just have good airflow may build one anyway because it is very kiss and burn them into the initial combustion you just have good to cook woodgas.
    The volatile gasses and probably works good to cook woodgas stove would capture the initial combustion you just have good airflow may build.

    The tar vapors are driven off earlier and you get almost pure heat burn down to almost ash.
    For air the charcoal better that wood fire the heat of home charcoal better that wood fire the heat of home charcoal in small clay pot has no soot stains on it and looks new the tar vapors are driven off earlier and looks new the clay pot.
