Wood Gas BioFuel Stove  $55.00
     

HGG volumes 1- 5 deal explicitly with making hydrogen gas from organic material to run an engine or a car. This stove is EXACTLY one of those generators. The Wood Gas stove is actually an Upside Down Up-Draft Gassier. It is actually making a hydrogen dominated combustible gas from the wood or biomass in the stove and it is then feeding that gas back into the stove for the purpose of heat and for making more gas. Much larger than most camp stove with a rating of 10,000 BTUs you can run the stove off of fuel all around you (wood chips, twigs, branches, pine cones, and acorns).
