Hi All, Your advice will be appreciated. I intend to try out the upward flow gasifier/burner , for heating porposes. A small experimental model will be made with tin cans. As I understand, starting with the burn at the top, the wood will firstly be converted to charcoal, then the charcoal will burn at the bottom until exhausted. I have available a pile of wood in about 3 inch lengths, which varies from 3/4 " down to 1/4 in diameter. Would it be best to use it in the mixed form, or to separate it into like sizes to be used in different burns. Thanking you, John Davies.
