I've noticed that the nozzle towards the back of the machine usually burns wood at a quicker rate than that of the front nozzle. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas why? Related to the location or amount of primary air supply perhaps? I just love technical dialog on gasifiers!

Might have something to do with your wood or loading practices. I've noticed that it varies with mine--sometimes the front nozzle burns better and sometimes it's the back one. Of course, my favorite condition is when they're both blasting the orange flame. It takes a fresh load of dry wood on a nice bed of coals to do that.
For some reason, I tend to get more ash accumulation under the back nozzle--and that's pretty consistent. I'm guessing that's because that's the direction of the draft.

Are these rigs not simply awesome! I am falling in love with this thing. I do think the direction of the draft plays a roll. sI know that some of those fancy European machines have primary air inlets along the sides.
While im not in love with mine yet, I think I can learn to. It sort of feels like the lord of the rings. Can't stop thinking about it. Or, Im a Cleveland fan, all the sports.
Usually a great start to the season, but a dissapointing end. But that just me. I have not yet acuired that all world free agent (more storage tanks).
Hows that?

I think a single nozzle Nofossil has some advantages. If I had your nozzle and my gasification chamber we'd have a rig. Call it the Eko Super25XL
