Wood gasification links from Jed Turtle:

http://www.fao.org/docrep/t0512e/T0512e01.htm

- excellent overview of everything pertaining to the process.
this deserves a complete read by anyone remotely interested in the subject. even mechanically dis-inclined persons such as myself should be able to glean much valuable understanding from a slightly-more-focused-than-casual glance at this site.

- superb "been there, done that" from an Aussie perspective.

http://www.gengas.nu/byggbes/ix.shtml
- step-by step directions , in German

http://journeytoforever.org/at_woodfire.html
- appropriate technology: woodgas cooking stoves for 3rd world villages.
