The mark III woodgasifying stove.
A great way to cook pancakes on a lazy Sunday morning...

I've been developing the design of this based originally on a much smaller portable 'hobo' stove.

The principle is quite simple. Once the stove is hot, air is drawn up the cavity between the two layers and warms before entering the burn chamber at the top where it combines with the unburnt gases and ignites them.
This results in a hot, smokeless and very efficient burn, and it uses only small diameter wood such as you might get as 'waste' from hedge laying or coppicing...

Some of this season's wild mushroom harvest.

I get confused by the Latin names as so many of them have been reclassified due to advanced in DNA testing.

I know them as agaricus macrosporous, meadow waxcap (hygrocybe pratensis), scarlet hood (hygrocybe coccinea), snowy waxcap (hygrocybe nivea) and winter chanterelle (cantharellus infundibuliformis)

Home pressed and pasteurised apple and grape juice

Home pressed and pasteurised apple and grape juice, and damson and plum wine.

The abundance of the harvest is glorious, but it takes a lot of time and effort to process particularly when it's all done on a small scale with hand powered kit and a woodburning stove...

Wouldn't change a thing!
