Dear Doug
"The best way to solve a problem is to eliminate it in the first place."
These folks have found a way to eliminate most of the need for fuel sizing.
Looks like they could burn "kill dried wood" without the need for blocking,
splitting, or chipping. It is sort of like an oversized Rocket Type stove.

Hi Jason,
All I have done is to show a simple concept of using a disc blade to offer
it's rural application any need of sophisticated sharpening. Your idea is
quite practical, and I have made many foot operated mechanical
fabrications over the years. It should be simple enough to use a pipe
U-shape for a pedal with vertical connection to the lever. The body would
just be turned around so that the scraper blade handle faces the operator.
This is a concept that could be extended in many ways depending on the
needs and ability of the user, so all ideas will formulate from who and
where these things might be used. Mine will evolve to make it easy to put
away when not in use, but any visitors wanting to talk about gasification
will have to give me a morning on the end of that lever(:-)
Doug Williams,
Fluidyne.

Doug,
would your design objective make it feasible to make that cutter foot
operated with a return spring?
Closest thing I can find with a short search is a foot operated grommet
press. http://navyaviation.tpub.com/14218/css/14218_230.htm
