Paul, Thanks for some really interesting information. Why not set the 150 gasifier up under a 55 gallon drum of water and let it run through a complete load of rice husks without the mesh dome, and then do the same thing with the mesh dome under another drum of water. If the water in the drums started out at the same temperature, the ending temperatures (when the thermo switch in the gasifier shut down the fan) should be different. I would say you are free to adjust the speed of the fan with the PWM pot, just as you would do if you were cooking. BTW, I did an experiment here with a mesh from an old satellite dish, figuring it would last for a "little while". It glowed a very nice dark red, then lighter red, and POOF...it vaporized and fell into the cylinder after only a few minutes!
