Gasifiers Wood Gasification & Off Grid Power: A Beginners Guide Kindle Edition

This book is a good introduction to wood gasification. That being said, it lacked technical details. The book contains a lot of advice and the author share's his own personal experience, but that's about it. He references the FEMA wood gasifier several times, and with a quick google search you can find a pdf written by the US Department of Energy that goes into a lot more detail and is free.

Perfect for me! Easy to understand, filled with useful information and no unnecessary BS. It provides a thorough walkthrough of all important aspects of building, running and maintaining a wood gasifier. It does not however give a detailed technical drawing of a design with a step-for-step procedure. I have looked at such building-guides but find them of little use. They usually require the use of specific materials that I do not necessarily have access to. Much more useful with a thorough review of what is important to consider when designing and building the device. Recommend!

This is the best so far. Not a “build manual” but an excellent addition to other build books, helps understand all thats involved.

Very easy language and fine to understand!

The pictures are excellent and the data well presented. They reviewed the different types of gasifiers and improvements as well as the chemistry involved. Great refernce

The book gave a lot of good information to start out to research later. Not too technical but you need plans to build it probably

A good book

Useful introduction for me to learn more about gassification

Although it lacks detail for the novice, it has all the skeletal stuff for a technically minded person. Nice book

In the Great War and World War II gas was unobtanium. So, what did peeps do to run their internal combustion engines? Gasification.There's a science to it plus it can be dangerous since we're talking about hydrogen as a byproduct of burning wood.So, research! Yay!This is a great place to start as is GEK if so inclined.
