       Well, I was looking at Boyt's stove that is made from 10 different
cans, but actually meaning any of these new, cleanburn woodgas designs in
general.  How well could they be made to work with green, or semi-green wood
chips?

      My intended use would be for heating a workshop, and just general
experimentaion, however, I would think there to be a serious ThirdWorld need
as well, at least in areas such as Afghanistan. Maybe the heat output of the
cooking stoves is enough to warm small areas, but I'd think some design with
easier reloading would be needed.

       Yes, I'm on the gas-l list, but it's pretty dead.
