Why do people find it hard to burn sawdust? Is it the storage, feeding or overall combustion of the stuff safely? Our stove the Gale Force gasifies sawdust very well when we add the sawdust kit. A video will be coming soon if I ever figure out how to get a video to you tube. 2 cubic yards will give me my 4 hour burn time and heat my 3000 gallons back up to 180.The sawdust can range from large curls to fine dust, anything that wont plug a 4" auger.

Many folks have burned some amount of sawdust and/or wood chips, but you need a good coal bed to get good results in a typical gasifier.
I have a US Stove 1537G. I get sawdust for my barn for $10 a pickup truck load or hardwood mulch. Can I burn this in this stove. Man I could heat for real cheap then.LOL
