This is my first post here. First of all thanks to all for the wealth of info posted here. Wish I had known of this site much sooner. Oh well that's life.
OK after much reading (& more to follow) I have decided to post my question. That is which gassifier do you think satisfies my circumstances & conditions?
Circumstances: We consume 40k Btu/hr at -40*. Fuel source is mostly poplar (trembling aspen) standing or fallen dead wood & lots of it. I will never catch up to the deadwood.
Conditions: ( Imposed by me ) I am open to reasonable persuasion.
#1 I will continue to use deadwood as fuel.
#2 I want to use the deadwood in as large of a piece as I can, the bigger the better, no need to split as wood is dead & dry.
#3 (opt A) I want to fire once in a 24 hr period at -40* so I need to store 1 mil usable Btu at each firing, (opt B) I can fire twice, once before I leave for work, once when I return from work, welcome suggestions on storage here.
#4 I can place inside or outside of a building my choice, inside makes more sense in alot of common sense ways.
#5 I cant be a slave to long firing periods to get the 1 mil Btu into storage as I still need to work a few more decades before I retire.
