Pro's con's? The gassification units seem to need tweaking are they worth the work as far as efficiency and less smoke? Thanks for chimming in as that I am new to this and want to purchase the correct unit, Jon
Gasifiers do take longer to light because you have to get a coal bed before you can close the bypass and get a good “torch†going.

For my Tarm Solo Plus 40, "longer" = 5 minutes.
Also, a stack temp thermometer is a very useful tool in running the unit. Couldn’t imagine not having one.

Agree. I finally went the "eye candy" route on this and got a K type digital panel meter with high temperature probe inserted into the flue. Now on my monitoring panel I have a continuous digital readout of stack temp in bright red LED numbers.
