Hi, correction. The barrel is a 55 gallon plastic drum. Ifit will work i will try to get photos up to day.These pictures are only a rough idea of how it might work. Also they are rather large.[/img]

OK, I finally figured out how to do this. So here are the 2 pics of a possible configuration for the 55-gallon combustion chamber.

oh, come on, don't be so pushy. you did it on another topic, too. if people have info, they will tell you. just be patient. I think the air compressor would be your best bet. How long is the barrel going to be?

If you have to circulate all the air through those two little holes then an air compressor would work best because it will be most powerful.
