That would've been me Jonathan.

Below is a URL to a proper wood gassification boiler / 
furnace.

It's my plan to heat the shop with my own version of 
one of these and hopefully be able to use it to produce 
charcoal as well. Unless I want a load of charcoal I'll 
let the stove keep burning for the heat.

I have yet to build my furnace and don't have a 
finalized design, every time I do some web surfing on 
the subject I learn something new and my "design" 
changes.
