TLUD

Hey everyone, long time lurker here. I have been building a bunch of different stoves and burners for a while. Just wondering if I am missing the TLUD section and if not then has anyone used them to heat a cabin/house and any thoughts on that?

My last build was an attempt at a long burn cross draft gasifier but if i am being honest i think it just ended up being a not great rocket stove with a wood hopper... it has 2nd and 3rd preheated air ports but i had to put some bricks in the chamber to get the flames to stay close to them. I will hopefully have time this summer to weld in some different pieces and change where the air interacts. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Justin, welcome to the forum.

You might find some discussion of those in the Biochar forum or the biogas forum.

Here is one thread that might be of interest:

Perfect, thanks for the help.

I see we have a mad rocket scientist.  Love it!
