I did think a woodgas stove might be cool!

Suggestions please

That wine cooler looks to have a good gap between the inner and outer walls, and should give you success as a tlud woodgas stove if done right. :)

For a natural draught woodgas burner:

Make the primary to secondary air holes 1-3 hole size ratio.

Look at a bushbuddy and try to copy the hole pattern.

Make the 2ndry holes as near to the top of the inner as possible, not in the angled piece though-IME this doesnt help at all.

Use a grate in the bottom.

Measure the cross sectional area of the gap between inner and outer can, and make sure the top holes dont exceed this.

Add the plenum cross sectional area to the cross sectional area of the primary holes, and make the inlet holes add up in cross sectional area to at least this. Area of a circle= Pi x radius squared

This should make an efficient tlud.

I hope this helps :)

This is exactly the info I was after.
Zenstoves site was turning it into an epic research project.

The tlud handbook on bioenergy lists has some great info too.

Bioenergy lists is the stoving mecca. ;)

Glad I could help.
