Rolf I remember seeing an article in a US based magazine (Mother Earth News) years ago about a guy who put a wood stove in the back of his pickup. The wood stove was damped down so it would smoulder. He then ran the smoke into his engine and voila wood running his truck.
I saw one of those on TV a couple of weeks ago - it wasn't even remotely reliable, could only get up to about 30 mph, and was getting about 2 miles to the lb of wood chips.
