[GrizHFMinimill] Re: Webster is a barstock engine

the gasification is super simple. a couple coffee cans and some twigs shows how easy it is.

the problem is that is is a batch. you load, then burn till it is out, then load and start over.

If I lived in the deep woods, I would have a good fueled generator and a wood fueled truck.

the small engine would be a novel means to have a fully working system.
