HOW THE G/GS SERIES GASIFICATION OUTDOOR FURNACE WORKS
SteelTech Inc. is proud of its reputation for producing
innovative outdoor heating methods and our G Series
outdoor furnaces are continuing that trend. They operate
furnaces. The HeatMaster
SS
G Series wood furnaces use up
to 50% less wood to create the same heat.
How It Works
Wood gas is generated in a high-temperature reaction
(>700º F) between the wood and a limited amount of
oxygen. The heat and lack of oxygen “bakes” the wood,
causing the gases in the wood to release in the form of
carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
ash that would come with it and burned at temperatures

your fuel. After the gas is burned, heat is extracted to the
water jacket using the heat exchange tubes.
Normal exit temperatures of the exhaust are 200-300º F.

you will see white exhaust that dissipates quickly, which is

compared to a standard outdoor furnace.
HOW THE G SERIES GASIFICATION OUTDOOR
FURNACE WORKS
SteelTech Inc is proud of its reputation for producing
innovative outdoor heating methods and our G Series
outdoor furnaces are continuing that trend. They operate
more efficiently with fewer emissions than other outdoor
furnaces. The HeatMaster
SS
G Series wood furnaces use up

How It Works
Wood gas is generated in a high-temperature reaction
(>700º F) between the wood and a limited amount of
oxygen. The heat and lack of oxygen “bakes” the wood,
causing the gases in the wood to release in the form of
carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide .
The wood gas mixture that is created in the firebox is then
drawn through the base of the fire along with any ash that
would come with it and is burned at temperatures around
2000° F in the gasification chamber. This creates a very hot,
very clean burn helping you get the most out of your fuel.
After the gas is burned, heat is extracted to the water jacket
using the heat exchange tubes.
Normal exhaust temperatures are 200-300°F. The most
notable indicator of effective gasification is the lack of
smoke exiting the chimney. However, often you will see
white exhaust that dissipates quickly, which is steam from
the wood in the firebox.
The gasification process creates longer burn times and can
reduce wood consumption as much as 50% compared to a
standard outdoor furnace.
