No, because of conservation of energy, and the vast majority of that energy is wasted as.

The old lady got me an electric smoker for christmas, our recent power outages have me concerned that i may not be able to smoke things with it. This thing I estimate pulls about 1300 watts. If I converted a 1500 watt gas generator to run off woodgas, would I be able to generate enough fuel smoke with the smoker to power it to run the smoker? I could recirculate the exhaust through piping around the smoker to help maintain the heat in the smoker with the increased airflow. Since im burning the woodgas the exhaust shouldnt impact anything. Maybe im wrong and a smoker doesnt run hot enough to convert the wood to combustible gas, but until someone who knows things about stuff tells me I wont be able to sleep and I get weird when i dont sleep -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
