General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Emotion of wood burning

Well said country boy.

I figure if I benefit from the workout of cutting and moving wood and enjoy the process, my time spent is free. No one factors their time spent watching tv into their cable bill!

Canuck,  nice build!  curious how it is working on your first run?

can you explain or post a picture of how your intake air is pre heated before entering the burn chamber?  I understand the garn circulates air around a collar at the front of the firebox but have never seen one in person.

Thanks

That tank looks huge!  How may gallons?  Very interested in your build, hope you are able to show off your progress.  Lots of knowledge on here hopefully some will be willing to share.

Just a thought for you,
I did something similar to what you are thinking with the underground pipe.  It works,  but some days I wish I would have used the good stuff.  I am seeing some heat loss and not sure how long my homemade stuff will last.  Also, there are so many variables to these systems, it would be nice know I am wasting minimal effort and expense of gathering wood to heat the the ground!

Looking forward to your progress.

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
