In boy scouts, there is a sawdust burner, that scouts are taught to make.

1 gal paint can.

Hole in bottom, 1" dia.

Broom stick.

Stick broom stick in hole, and out of the top of can.

Stuff DRY sawdust into the can, REAL TIGHT. Full.


Carefully remove the broom stick.

Place a piece of paper in the hole on the bottom, and light.

It lights the sawdust, and smolders with little or no smoke.


Now, how about a 55 gal drum full....


Anybody doing this?

To heat your drying barn.

I  bought into that mans  deal for a year . Just so i could learn more about how and why it works , as well ,as he says.
I have 2 months newsletters downloaded. I need to read them a  a time or 2 more. to get a complete idea as to how its made and  try a test of his mini burner that he  gives plans for.
Anyone else have any intrest in the process?

It sure looks like just part of a gasifier set up to burn the gases in the unit instead of collecting them.
