This looks good for a 2 hour burn, and looks as if, as designed, you can get a considerably longer burn out of this gassifier. The white ash would be where the air flow was fastest and temperature highest. Take the ash 1 or 2 inches at a time, and rough out each area on paper to get a picture of your air flow: the brown and uncharred wood represents volumes that were bypassed by the airstream either by packing or tar-sealing. I can SO see this on my farm. Thanks!! - !
