Hi, the shown DD BBQ did NOT have much of a hopper to hold the fuel, and, as pointed out by Ron, does NOT have much control over the primary air supply (except some adjustable grate that did not sound like much control, but I might be wrong.) ALL of my work with the IDD gasifier focuses attention to the need to control the primary air supply. Also, is it not possible that the generated gases are too far from the flame to be continually ignited? A concern with the IDD is a "flare-out" loss of flame to ignite the gases, thus resulting in smoke that should be consumed in the flames. Is there an ignition method for the BBQ with the DD fuel supply? Paul Paul S.
