This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the iron badge in Metal Working.

For this BB, you will convert a tractor or garden tractor to wood-based charcoal gasification !

Here is what one might look like:

Minimum Requirements for this BB:
- Convert a tractor or garden tractor to wood-based charcoal gasification (joint project with Tool Care)
     - Plus 5 points of Tool Care (Wood/Iron)
     - Capable of 6 hrs run time (refueling allowed if engine can keep running)

To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - The supplies and tractor you're starting with
 - Partway through the conversion
 - The finished charcoal gasification powered tractor
 - Demonstrate the tractor has 6 hours of run time
