My initial thought was steam engine powered - but no. How does wood gasification work?

"Where is the bathroom?" :lmao:

No idea what gasification is, but would like to know more.

I had to look it up.......

A wood gas generator is a gasification unit which converts timber or charcoal into wood gas, a syngas consisting of atmospheric nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, traces of methane, and other gases, which - after cooling and filtering - can then be used to power an internal combustion engine or for other purposes. ~Wikipedia~

Nope. No thanks! But if any others want to get on that burn wagon, you can come and grab all our scrap lumber from our basement demolition for free! :D
