[SEL] Wood gas producer/wood chipper info needed please

[Mick Demaria]

 Hi Jerry:
 Have you considered using pellet fuel or ground up
corn cobs? I have had pretty good luck with stove
pellets. I can run a small generator all weeekend on
one bag. 
 Here are some links to the unit I built and some
producer gas info sites.
