Yes, I've read that site. I also had a book from the Missouri Dep't of Natural Resources on building gasifiers for small sawmills which was fairly in depth on filtering. Wish I could find it, I bought it about 20 years ago along with a big gasifier plan set from Mother Earth News, but can't locate either of them so far --probably in a box somewhere. There's what looks to be a good book on dealing with tars onf the BEF site that I've been meaning to buy. I was also intrigued by his use of steam -- and wondering why using green wood wouldn't have the same effect?
