Call it whatever you wish.....what you are doing is more or less making charcoal and burning the gas produced in the process.
When coal is converted into coke.....the "coking" process produces..(duh!) coke gas. This gas is used to fuel blast furnaces, fire boilers, etc.
When coal is coked and wood is converted to charcoal, you heat them up in special ovens and seal off any oxygen....if you don"t....the coal or wood burn up. This starving process produces the gases as the volatile elements are driven off. If you ever build a fire in a stove.....especially with coal and close the damper (cutting off the air)....you begin a crude coking process and that green looking coke gas will ignite like gasoline if you suddenly open the stove door.....ask me how I know....hehe!
Of course internal combustion engines have been modified to burn these crude gases.....but I"d be more interested in making an engine run on home distilled alcohol than on wood gas.
