I guess a stick of wood will only go as far as you are capable of takin it. The more you get out of it the less work you will have to do to replenish it. So I see there may be some complications to storing the wood gas. I guess i will have to be a little more creative. Where there is a will there is a way. Just how far do i want to go? Tonite i will research the possibilities of storing it as a liquid. IF that becomes too complicated i may just design and build a gasification boiler. They cost about 10 grand to buy. I have most of the stuff i need to build one but i have'nt worked out my design yet. I think i will build it like a water tube type boiler, However, storing the gas as a liquid is my main priority right now, because it could be used for many other purposes other than heating.

Well, that was easier than i thought. Natural gas which is 75% methane becomes a liquid at 260 F below 0. I am pretty sure it would consume much more energy to liquify my home made gas than it would be worth. I did not research any further to investigate what pressure is the best to store it at, maybee i will a little later. I hav'nt given up yet.

That's where you start working on a solar refrigeration system. You can do it using a solar collector, but I'm now sure what the minimum temperature would be.
