Stovers, Alex's info at the site listed below is EXCELLENT and stimulating. It gave me several suggestions that I will try with the Juntos gasifiers. I have made only one "bucket-size" gasifier back in Illinois, and it worked very well with junk biomass. I will be making some larger ones (like 20 liter cans) but not as large as Alex made. My smallest was a typical "soup can". worked, but VERY susceptible to air currents that disrupted the small flame. Alex, are you coming to the Johannesburg meeting?
