Look in the "Boiler Room" forum. There was a guy a couple years ago built his own boiler.

There are also rough diagrams on gasifying boiler websites that have me intrigued. They show the positions of the water jackets, the refractory pieces, etc. I would look at designs for negative pressure boilers (suck air rather than pushing through fuel) because owners have less issue with smoke out the primary loading door.

You have to remember that most on this site are 5 hours behind you- I posted at 8 am our time. Where in England are you? Been over many times on business.
