I am not sure what "open core" means, but I do have some experience with the Chinese JXQ-10A gasifier. I have not fueled it with rice husks, but have used chopped straw a bit and wood chips a lot.
If that machine fits the bill, I have quite a bit of info about my own experiences at: http://www.spaco.org/JXQ10A.htm My general conclusion is that this style of gasifier primarily makes burnable gases from the volatiles, not from CO2 reduction to CO. When used exactly as designed, one cooks a meal with it, then allows it to sit there until the next meal. During this idle time between meals, some of the charcoal that formed is consumed, making room for more fresh fuel to be added for the next meal. I have never seen above-the-grate temperatures in excess of about 1200 degrees F in this machine. In every case, the reactor eventually fills up with partially terrified material and less and less burnable gas evolves until there is none, if one tries for a run longer than about 5 hours.

I'm looking for performance data or experience for operating systems for a project in Southeast Asia. The Ankur gasifiers are well documented but there is not much on open core designs.
