[Gasification] Gasifier to run IC engine AND make charcoal at thesame time?

   The only way I can conceive of this working is a gasifier that ran in
batch mode, which would be okay to fuel a genset that charged batteries.
Perhaps a simpler way would be to forget the IC engine and build
multiple, large (50gal drum) TLUD burners that heated a boiler, either
for hot water stored in insulated tanks for a building or to run a steam
engine genset. The insulated hot water storage is what both Tarm and
Kunzel recommend with their gasifying boilers anyway, and is what I've
been planning for home heating. I suppose you could even use it with a
masonry heater.
