It's hardly an experiment, it runs. This is a proven technology, not something I'm dreaming up.
I'm fabricating a can that the engine exhaust runs through to pre-dry the material. That will take care of the problem. The wood doesn't have to be real dry, but under 18 or so percent. But, mostly I've been hiking up at the volcano, so that's been on hold for now. I also want to redo the burner to try to get the pre-start smoke down and get it to heat up faster. People cared less about that sort of thing in 1930.
Here's pictures of the device.
