The hobo and the pyrolysis stove work in a different way to each other, I dont think you could make them compatable, but have at it, the best bit is experimenting.
Have a look at the links born2roam put on his post, theres also some good stuff on the web, search under wood gas stove as well as pyrolysis.
BTW I have a cutlery drainer hobo, certainly the stainless steel looks a lot better after a few burns, now who does st.st food cans I wonder
Theres a company in the States makes a natural draw pryolysis stove in st.st but they want some very silly money for it.
If I can get the design right, I've been offered the services of an expert welder at the refinery, so I may get a st.st one yet
Glen that is a really nice design, have you field tested it ?
On the position of the fan, side mounted would'nt work with my design, I need the air draw up to the secondary holes for it to work, what I did (with the second fan ) was to use 2mm x 25mm lg bolts top and bottom, so it sits on one set of bolts 25mm off the ground (I had a big problem with heat transfer with this design, anything even remotely flammable that it sat on caught fire) and the 25mm bolts on top keep the fan away from the heat, the stove sits on top of those. Even then the heat transfer is bad, I need something like the asbestos pads we used to use in chemistry class, anyone know something like that, must be thin.
For the field model I will probably make a base with the fan and speed controller and battery contained in it, wide enough to stabilise the whole thing.
Speed controller next, pretty box after
