Greetings David and List. David.. some of us do indeed create "heating grade woodgas" BUT, I would think that most us that do it (including myself), do what is called "Close Coupled" systems (gas burner is in the same chamber AS the char). NO piping, no burner "per say".
Many that are doing this are simply making a great burner, WITHOUT the need for "extras" (junk really) like catalytic afterburners, they are simply "hang on, correct the burn" items. (instead of getting the burn right in the first place...)
