I failed to mention in the video there is about 400lbs of lumber mounded in the bed, the heaviest load I have put on the truck yet

Seemed to blend right in today, out running errands in bonney lake and no one questioned the little bit of steam escaping the hopper while it was sitting in the parking lot. Had a Tesla and Prius driving around the parking lot, no clue I was running greener then they ever could be

Spent the last 2 weeks in my spare time building a wood chunking machine to produce fuel for the gassifier truck, here was my test run of it yesterday, had a big run with it today
It's very dangerous and definitely not OSHA approved but makes fuel for the wood powered truck very quickly. It will end up with some safety guards soon as I have the time and material to build them. Did a full build series on my YouTube channel 8 videos if you want to know how I built it

You really don’t know what ‘covered with soot’ means until you crawl into a firebox and ‘punch the tubes’ on a large boiler. Did that when I was younger.
Fun vids!

Is my crazy contraption looking a little less crazy now?Lots of people doing small land clearing, starting gardens. Any piece of brush can be chunked and run a engine! Ya I use kiln dried lumber but just cause that's what I get for free. And I'm only getting wood from one of my yards, I have 5 other yards throwing away all these same pallets and paying to get rid of them. Free fuel, if nothing else free firewood with a little processing. But from my numbers a chord of firewood would fuel my truck just over 5000 miles, vs heat my house for 2 months. Free wood on craigslist and OfferUp everyday.... If you play with diesels, used oil has lots of uses as fuel, biodiesel. Or a older 12 valve or 7.3 with good fuel filters you can strain the oil and run it 50/50 with regular diesel. Legalities aside, it's free fuel. Russia Iran and Saudi Arabia wouldn't like it but to hell with them, if the goobermint won't make the country energy independent I'll make myself energy independent. Building a V10 dodge gassifier right now for my heavy hauling needs, and after that I plan to pickup at least a 25kw generator older one with a gasoline motor and woodgas it for off grid needs or when I need to run welders and compressors and the solar system can't keep up
