I am intrigued and want a car or truck that runs on seasoned firewood. This is a WWII era one, but guys are making them and attaching them to their El Camino or F150. Regular internal combustion engine (I'm sure some slight modifications are needed...) but with a different fuel source. The combustibles given off form 'charcoal making.' It'd be a great vehicle to keep at a retreat as a spare to run errands.

I wonder what his MPC (Miles Per Cord) is....
Thing I noticed about that truck is that he seemed to have several controls that I think most people have never seen... A manual choke, what may have been a spark advance, and some stuff I couldn't identify. Might be a little complicated to drive, and you'd have to do any work on it yourself. There's no way you'd find a mechanic for it.
Still neat. I can just hear the hippies screaming about the burning of forests for fuel. Which is a good reason to do it, come to think of it.
Or use the hippies for kindling.
B-bbut it uses RENEWABLE fuel! No fossil fuel at all! It's green, as GREEEEEN as the day is long. It's a good thing.
Seriously, if enough of these things got made, people might see domestic oil production and domestic nuclear as viable, environmentally friendly things.
On a more practical side, I assume the thing that converts the wood to something useable in the engine takes a lot more space than the gas tank, so that's why it's done with trucks and El Caminos? Perhaps an early 70's Toyota quarter ton, then. . .
