Hi Highbinder....
Sent some time looking at all the links and all the builds of these Woodgas stoves...
Im probably missing something obvious.
The Woodgas stove burns the fuel, then recycles some of the unburned gases and reburns them?
Assuming Ive got that right...
I imagine it wouldnt smoke quite as much when its warmed up, but then hobos stop smoking when they are hot too...
I imagine it would increase the amount of heat obtained from the load of fuel...which is usually in abundant supply, but does it with a weight gain, the loss of the burner opening you can feed more twigs through, no ground scorch protection, no side of pot heating to reduce cooking times, need for a cook pot that is bigger than combustion chamber, so bigger kit?
Er....With respect, may I ask a serious question....why do I want to build one?
