I'm working on the final tuning and adjustments to my gasser and I have a chugging situation it happens after a fresh load of wood or after start-up and before the wood starts turning into charcoal.
I need the primary air wide open on startup to get a secondary burn going but then to correct the chugging I need to cut back on the primary air.
Does anyone know what would cause this?

Both gassers I've owned will "chug" if my wood is:
1) Split too small
2)Too dry

Interesting my wood is.
1 small originally cut and split for the indoor wood burner.
2 really dry. 7% dry it's been covered for 3 years.
I will try some wood that was cut this past summer and has not been covered well.
Thanks for the info.
