You talking about a propane fridge? Sounds like an awesome idea. I think I will have to try that this spring when I need to fire up the fridge again. Just need to figure out a way to store the wood gas somehow safely for later use.

MrTeslonian has a cool Diy vid of building one to run his truck on but you can run any engine big or small on woodchips. He also makes his own synthetic gasoline. Check out the youtube vid and channel.

Yes I have seen his work. It is quite well done. But I fear way beyond my limited engineering skills. You have to really filter it out well before putting it into a gas engine or it will crud the system up fast.
