[Gasification] Continous gasifier for household scale - experience sharing

[Jeff Davis]

Hi Tuong,

Maybe a water seal, like a cup of water at the charcoal outlet. And 
maybe not.

Possibly reducing the diameter of the downdraft might reduce the amount 
of tar but might require a stronger fan. In other words increase the 
superficial velocity.
