    Do you have any videos of the process of using the gasifier? I cannot tell from the description in the article how exactly it happens. It sounds like you pack the reactor (bottom) full of carbonaceous material, but do you light that material or some other combustible in the crown (upper). Also, if char is made by a process devoid of oxygen, why are holes placed in the bottom of the reactor? Wouldn’t this admit oxygen? Sorry for the confusion. I really want to understand this!
