Gasification Stove (How To), They're incredible!!! Complete Instructions

My little rocket stove is a trip and flame shoot out 2' in the air. The version I built requires too much attention to be practical for use other than when your standing right there with it. I designed a more practical version that will heat water to 180*, you can cook on it and it will heat a 5 inch pipe that can have an air duct installed on it with a small 9 volt fan for forced hot air.

 

Thanks for the plans..

 

I haven't built it yet so It's experimental. But it should work like a charm. I have a rough material list made up, gonna be about $3-400 in material, my buddy said he'd do the welding for me. BONUS

 

Good kinda buddy to have..

 

The gas can be "captured" and run through a gasoline motor. It is old technology and was used in the 30s/40s when gasoline was unavailable. It was used more in other countries than here--especially in the war years. Methane capture has been around for many years also.

 

Yeah, I have been watching prep vids on youtube for about a year now. I have learned a lot of very practical stuff there.
Really stupid stuff on there too but some of those people are brilliant!

 

They work great and don't use much fuel, built mine from stainless steel motor housing and stainless steel flum pipe with stainless steel expanded metal for grate. Does best using small dry twigs, looks like a gas burner when it starts gassifing.

 

the next step?

Wood gas stoves are very efficient. Made one out of two cans with a Swiss Army knife many years ago. Used hardware cloth for the pot stand. It was obviously crude, but it worked. But because it was round, same size as shape as the largest can, I never carried it backpacking.

I posted about it on a different forum before I climbed the monkey tree. I'll see if I can find it and post a link. Unless mods tell me it is a no no.

For now, I prefer something small, like the Emberlit. While it isn't quite as efficient, it is good enough. And much easier to carry.

 

Mine is still kicking! The smaller ones are good with wood pellets . You'll get enough burn time to actually heat something, adding fuel is the problem. You have to do it very slowly or you interfere with the process and it smokes.
If you add forced air it becomes a smokeless boiler that hits incredible temps!
I love this guy's videos, he has taken this all the way to the conclusion, even explaining how to produce and refine high grade fuel from the byproducts of the wood smoke.
