It's been too long. Had a lovely email from Jen..hopefully she received my reply and will set up a time to come by and see everything. My brother said he saw an article about her and Rowan in the paper...I'm intrigued. I lost all my email addresses when my laptop decided it was of better use as my doorstop...drop me a line at sandra@northriverloghomes.com so I have the emails again! Chris would love to talk gasifiers with you...he is pretty pumped... Hi Shane, we need to get together with you and Siobhan soon! It's been too long.

Sounds intriguing. We need to get together soon so I can pick your brain. I'm struggling to settle on a wood energy system for our place, but none of the currently available systems really make long term sense.<br /><br />Shane Chris,

I initially investigated gasification about ten years ago. Back then there was very little available though I got the FEMA manual and was keen to give it a try. Unfortunately, making a living got in the way …

I’ve been looking at the gek gasifier over the last six months. It is very impressive; you guys are producing a standardized unit, and a community is growing up around it that will hopefully lead to further innovation.

My plan is to build a small, stationary gasification power plant to provide the electricity for our new home.

Itching to start welding soon,

Chris
