Tomshoo Wood Gasifier Wood Stove And Tinned Haggis

Went out into the woods with the Tomshoo wood gasifier stove and a tin of haggis just waiting to be cooked. A pleasant day under the yew trees.

    Really enjoyed the video, great feat in difficult, very difficult conditions. Unfortunately I am a misophonia sufferer so I had to skip the slurping bits - hopefully didn’t miss anything important. Keep up your exploits. God Bless, David

    I've had it wrong. I've been just tossing the twigs in any which way and, while it still worked, it ate the twigs. I was loading more twigs in constantly. Thanks for showing that they have to be piled vertically and packed tightly. I'll do that from now on. That, and try wood pellets. 👍🏻

    Glad the vid will be of use to you. I tried wood pellets once and they just smouldered. But think they might’ve been damp. Must try it again sometime.

    I have that exact same stove and use dried hedge clippings in it (I let my hedges get overgrown, like 8ft+ so cut them down a bit and got a crap ton of fuel and tinder, once it was dried oot) Also props for liking grants haggis, the factory is in my neck of the woods and I enjoy their canned haggis often. Cheers fae SW Scotland. I may try your vertical burning method though as currently my wee stove eats through hedge branches, etc like nothing on earth (whilst giving off a 1ft+ flame)

    903 subscribers showing now, brilliant mate 👍. What amazes me about these stoves is the engineering and efficiency of them. Smoke from a normal fire is wasted unburnt fuel going up in the air, these stove create a secondary burn to actually burn their own smoke so very little energy is wasted. And the burn process is so efficient that if you leave the hot coals alone after the flames have died away, the wood coals will burn away to almost nothing. 2 full loads and a 3 hrs burn time leaves a pile of ashes less than half the size of the palm of you hand.

    I have the upgraded version of TOMSHOO wood gas stove- TOMSHOO B-PLUS. It's taller like lixada one and has modified burning chamber with additional holes on the walls of the chamber for more efficient burn. And ash plate aswel. Also i wonder because the additional holes in the burn chamber will make the flame more pulsing. I know that from KZreadr who made his own wood gas stove

    Eck-in-Asia, is how you say it, a bit of a mouthful. Very good for you apparently- your digestive system will thank you. Those gasifiers are good if you get it right. I prefer my evil eye stove.

    Hi Rob, have you every thought about using wood pellets in your Woodgas stove, If I fill mine up to the brim and light it like a candle from the top it burns hot flames for about 45 minutes and the woodcoal ashes keep gong for about another half hour or so. [you can experiment to work out what amount of pellets burn for what amount of time so you can plan for your cooking]

    For a gasification process the biomass must be heated (without burning) over 700 Celsius and then gasification starts. Bio materials turn into liquid syngas and those gases can be stored or transported somewhere need to combust for green renewable energy.
