Scott7m, the next one i build will be all new material, prolly 3-4-5 k gallons. no doubt they would sell. they're just so simple & work great.

In may decide to build one of those, I'll probably need some parts numbers and locations of where you found certain things. 

I guess As far as all the steel I'll just buy new or round up stuff.

petemoss,  That looks awesome.  I built one just like that.  My next one that I build is going to be for my cousin.  It is a lp tank off a delivery truck.  I am going to build it and keep it pressurized

Petemoss,

Nice project!  I am very interested in building something similar but don't quite understand the Garn process of adding heated air to the fire box and/or secondary chamber to achieve gasification.  Could you (or anyone else) help me out with that?

Any chance of getting picture of the nozzle for your stove?

Thanks for your time

That is an impressive build for sure. Thanks for linking me to the thread.

Is there a connector pipe between the two lower pipes near the front? The rest makes sense but I can't see that in any of the photos.

Thanks
John

Yes there is a tee about 10" back that connects the two pipes.

Great job Larry, nice to see some good ol' Show-Me State ingenuity here on the forum.   8)

I am located near Mt. Vernon, got a 100 acres with more than my share of hedge on it, if you run low.   

You got to take the thorny black locust too though.   >:D

   Thanks WoodMOJoe , This hedge is some fine firewood for sure. But that thorny locust is a mess around here.
