I see no category on this forum for discussion of the history of gasification.  I'm compiling a collection of vintage gasifiers that can be seen at the user gallery.  I'm also posting them to a daily blog:

How big can you go before they are too big? Mine are small compared to those. All those pics are great.

I hear it can vary by type (and gasifier).
From matchbook upto a pack of smokes?
The GEK is said to like 1" wood balls as an ideal
(lots of open air space).
I'm learning that the grain structure of the wood is helpful to the process, so pellets are smaller than they look.
   Perhaps a gallery of fuel used should be started in the 'fuels' section.
