Ok guys if you want to be successful with a wood gasifier and not produce tar. You MUST have DRY FUEL!!. No matter what anyone claims, regardless the dryer your fuel the less likely you are to produce tar in ANY gasifier. So save your selfs the heart ache and always run the dryest fuel possible and build a dryer.
My solution here is a simple DIY barrel drum rotisary dryer. I simply cut out the mid section and weld supports in place. I then install a screen using zip ties. Im using zip ties in case I may want to change the screen out. I can then simply cut the ties and zip tie in a different screen size any time.
You can also use engine exhaust heat by simply pointing the engine exhaust at the dryer to aid and expedite the drying process. Also a way to reclaim waste heat.
