I'm planning on making a scrap wood fueled wort boiler out of a metal milk jug and the blower out of a shop-vac. I throw away tons of scrap wood and pallets every day at work. I figure that instead of rotting away in some landfill, it could be boiling my wort.
It is roughly the same principle as a blast furnace for smelting iron ore, just on a smaller scale.
Is there any reason why you guys think this wouldn't work, or would advise against it?
Forgive my crude Paint drawing.
