The ones that I have seen are called Tarm but yes, I am somewhat familiar with those systems. There is an article that I would have to find that a couple in NE with a 100 year old Cape Cod house using oil fired radiator heat that installed a gasifer to cut costs. They left the oil burner as a backup in case the water in the radiator fell below a certain temp as a failsafe.
In the dead of winter, the owner would load the gasifer with 4-5 armloads of wood once in the morning and once in the evening and they were able to heat a 100 year old Cape Cod as well as heat domestic hot water and in a 30 day period only burn 3 face cords. Pretty neat stuff!
