Derek,
gasification is great for certain puposes, but in your case I think that
a simple burner will do and it is far less complicated.
Almost any pellet burner will do but you should dry your pits first.
This can be done naturally (air) or with a sidestream of the burner.
There are many pellet burners around.

A very, very simple system is here :

They work !

I have a large supply of wet cherry pits and I want to burn them to produce
hot water for heating my greenhouse.
I have a 200,000BTU natural gas boiler I would like to run 24/7. The hot
water would enter a large storage tank for immediate or later use.
My thought was to make an updraft top loading gasifier. The hope being that
this would dry the pits sufficiently for burning. I would run the producer
gas through a rad to remove as much moisture as possible and then pump the
dry gas into the boiler.
I understand that an updraft style gasifier will not crack the tars. Will
this require frequent cleaning of the boiler? Reduce efficiency?
I understand the basic principles involved, but would love some input before
I start chopping and welding.
