Boiler decision made....well sort of:

[Hansson]

The EKO with it's "puffing"(as Eric described it) seems to be a candidate but we are open to all input here.

If its puffing the draft can be wrong.
One guy here have that problem but solve it whit a thing that keeps the draft steady.
I don't now the english word for it.

Here a video of my when its windy outside.

The other thing that can cause "puffing" is if the primary and secondary air is not in the right ratios. From what I have heard drier wood requires a larger percentage of secondary air, can anyone with a gasifier confirm? I think this is the problem Eric actually had as he ended up adjusting the secondary air. I believe on the Tarm it is a relatively easy adjustment because they have provided a knob by the upper left of the gasifcation chamber door to do this. On the Eko it was a more complicated adjustment and I don't think it could be done with the unit in service.
