I found a government document on how to build a wood gas generator by FEMA. I've kept it as it sounds like an interesting project that is well detailed and proven to work. I haven't tried it yet but I may do so as a fun way to run a generator at my hunting cabin. It may have some information or ideas you can add to your project. They have a nice procedure for starting and stopping the generator that may be useful for safety. I'll try and attach it as an image .pdf file. You will need Acrobat reader or a similar .pdf reader installed to view it. You may need to right-click the image and select "Save as" to view it. Good luck with your project.

That is quite a doccument. Reprinted july 1989 and they were already planning on a "petroleum emergency". If I remember correctly my dad told me of a generator at someones house that used to run on wood gas a long tome ago.

Sorry, I'm not sure where I found it. It was posted on the internet someplace and I found it when I did a search on wood burning generators. I had it tucked away in my computer and remembered it when I saw this thread. You'll probably come across it again if doing a google search for "wood gas generator". I haven't looked to see if there are any updated versions. I suppose FEMA may help with locating this document as well?

I would love to have this .pdf file but the link isn't there for me to click on to.Could I bug you to repost it? I tried searching Google for it but didn't have any success. I want to build one for my cabin to run a small generator. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I ordered a book called Construction of a simplified wood gas generator from The Biomass Evergy Foundation Press. I found it on a site called The Gengas Page. There is a lot of info on wood gas at that site. If that does'nt work try www.woodgas.com or e-mail Tom Reed at tombreed@comcast.net. The Biomass Energy Foundation Press is lacated at 1810 Smith Rd. Golden CO 80401.
