A gasafier that works on wood ,
The smoke from burning wood used for fuel actually works ..
But I’ve only known of 1 person using it to power a truck ,,
But it did work ..
Was going to build one myself but only talked about it ,never built one ..
Wouldn’t look good in the trunk of an 84 Mustang ,,
But I might yet make a still ..
My relatives ran trucks on moonshine ,
To work in todays engines it would need some gas too ,,
But anything that cuts the cost ..
I knew how to grow weed back in the day and not get seen from the air ,,
I think I could use the same methods to hide a still ..
But I’m talking theory for the sake of conversation ,
I don’t need any feds looking for untaxed alcohol ..trying to take my land ..

@rckt148 I saw a magazine write up of a man who converted his truck to run as a gasifier. He starts it with a bit of gas and after it gets running switches it over to wood gas. He lives in a rural area with lots of timber.

@cherokeepatti
The man I know of needs no gas ..
He starts off with wood like lighter knot pine that has like turpentine oils in it ,,
I know you know about it ..
Then uses saw mill scrap after that ..
He also powers the saw mill with the truck (or he did )
The truck was destroyed and now he has a new one ,,
But he proved the old time technique works ,,
