Tharu, I tried to reply to your private message on this subject to me,
but it didn't go through. Perhaps others here will weigh in on this --
but I sure don't think it's a good idea to pipe woodgas into a house.

  You need more than ventilation -- people die just standing near to
a gasifier in the open air if their are leaks. One major problem is
you cannot smell the gas. Commercial gas systems like in towns add
something to the gas that smells strong.
    Natural gas (methane) is not nearly so dangerous, nor is lpg.
Woodgas is mostly CO.
