Dear Arnt,
When we distill wood vinegar, actually very little tar comes to the 
collection tank, rest of the tar either stays in the pipes (has to be 
cleaned every month). This collection is done while the wood or 
briquettes are drying in the chamber. Wood vinegar has no tar, for soil 
enrichment and ph control, it is diluted with water 1/100 or 200. It can 
also be used as pest control if diluted 1/300-500, just spray on the 
leaves and fruits.  About 5-10 cc is put in to bath tub to clean the 
body, it is the main ingredient used in detox pads. When the wood gas 
start coming out, the chimney which is connected to the retort chamber 
is closed and we start burning wood gas in retort's fire chamber to keep 
heating the wood until the gas is finished, by than wood become 
charcoal. If this wood gas could be harnessed, as Tom says there is a 
huge amount of energy is there.
So far I have tried couple of ways but not successful, and still trying...
Regards,
Robert
