  • @henchman99942...Good point on the JB Weld. It doesn't hold up to the high temperature. This was a quick, experimental build, and JB Weld was what I had on hand. It served its purpose in the moment. I disagree regarding your assertion that nothing is being gassed. Sorry, your statement is incorrect. ALL wood fires involve pyrolysis. The trick is to divert the wood's volatiles to a desired location prior to oxidizing it. In this case, most of the volatiles were diverted to the gas jets

  • @1acroyear1...The music is from a 1960's era, 33 1/3 rpm album titled "Dreams." Artists included the talented Brecker Brothers on brass, and Billy Cobham Jr. on percussion.

  • great music love it

  • I just want to know the name/ artist of that song.

  • OK.

    1) don't use JB weld on stuff you will burn wood in.

    2) that is not a gasifier. Nothing is being gased. A gasifier heats wood without oxygen and the wood gives off gases that burn. The design here simply burns wood.

    MAKING BIOCHAR: with Peter Hirst of New England Biochar

    Here you have an enclosed inner chamber with wood that is heated by burning wood in an outer chamber. Gases from wood in the inner chamber burn once the burning outer wood gets it hot enough.

  • ill give yo a nickel to tickle my roasted pickel

  • love the stove but the music is greatttttt--who is it?

  • I used a product called muffler joint & crack sealer, to seal the lid to the top can. The hotter it gets the better it works. To apply you need gloves, eye protection, well ventulated are until it dries. Hope this helps, enjoy building.

  • I was also thinking of a fuel starter, reignitable petroleum canned heat, but would require a third can w/lid to suffocate the fire. Something we used in the Boy Scouts. I suspect a case using sparingly might be nice to have. But with a door near the bottom where sliding it out might also prove useful in a lager can where wet wood is an issue, etc

    Best regards
