This is the throat of the beast. Here, air is introduced, and the wood combusts at high temperatures (roughly 1200°C to 1400°C). This is the "cracking" zone. This intense heat breaks down the complex hydrocarbons (tars) in the wood.
The subtitle of our topic—"Transform Tree Branches Into"—highlights one of the greatest advantages of wood gasification: the fuel source.
You must attach the gasifier to a carburetor. A gasoline engine runs at 14.7:1 air-fuel ratio. Syngas runs at 6:1 (air to gas). You need a "mixer" – a venturi that sucks the gas into the intake manifold. Tuning this requires a vacuum gauge.
