Mr Switchgrass - burning/gasifying switchgrass

Submitted by Jeff Davis on Sat, 11/29/2008 - 19:10

Mr Switchgrass is an inverted downdraft gasifier design that burns/gasifiers chopped switchgrass or weeds with little to no smoke problems. A rule of thumb is that each section will burn for a solid ten minutes at full flame. I measured 66 lbs for one load and it ran for about 40 to 50 minutes.
