Wood gas stove or "Let's make some Wood gas II"

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.

Your video I think is one of the better ones I have seen. TY

My pleasure.

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

Thanks. That's good to know and keep in mind. In this case I just used some pine 2x4 scrap I had around the house.

Thank you 4 a great vid, I have made a stove like this but i added a 12 volt pc fan that I run off a solar pannel.

With a small rucksack full of twigs I can run the stove 2/3 times a day for close to 3 weeks, so if your thinking of making 1 hurry they are easy 2 make & run you won't b dissapointed!!!

Hi. Check out some of my other vids and you'll see I've already used a solar panel on these stove. Right now I'm working on a small solar battery setup that you can charge during the day and then run stove after sundown or on cloudy days.

Thanks for the input.

does this make charcoal while burning? and what are the pros and cons compared to a rocket stove?

Hey! What about ash disposal when long time use? I made one (with bigger vents : the twigs sit on a grid, i'm surprised you vents are so small. mine is basically and open chimney draft!) and i had to shake it every 10minutes to get rid of the clogging effect ash had on the little holes!

Can you make me two of these please. lol. This is really neat. love how simple it is.

@hiramcook what about using the heat from the wood to power the fan? An idea... easy to say another to make it happen....

i thought wood gas was using wood in a container with a hole for a pipe the container goes in a fire and the pipe has gas come out
