Hi, sorry I am not familiar with your particular gasifier.
I thought I would reply though for those people with a more lowly budget who want to make their own gasifier which is not only very efficient and less polluting than wood stoves but it produces biochar from biomass.
In other words this gasifier burns the wood gases but leaves biochar unburnt.
I found plans for various tlud and anila stoves but these are not suitable for indoor use for various reasons and so I made one by modifying a rocket stove. (see attached leaflet for a basic design. A few additions are necessary in order to use these indoors.)
These stoves have all the advantages of rocket stoves (efficiency of combustion and heat capture through water heaters, cob thermal mass etc) and they have two extra advantages;
1, they produce a lot more heat than rocket stoves and
2, they produce biochar.
By turning the wood chip into biochar, these stoves are carbon negative, can improve soil fertility and can generate an income (biochar is expensive to buy!)
