How to Install a Wood Gasifier

Bring the gasifier unit into the utility room in the home. Gasifiers are not recommended to be installed in living areas due to the extremely high heat generated by the internal combustion reaction.

Set the gasifier unit into its desired location four inches from the wall that holds the exhaust port. It is heavy enough that it doesn't need to be bolted or secured to the floor or wall in any manner.

Locate the sealing plugs inside the plenum and on the back of the unit. The plugs should be replaced or resealed because they may be damaged during shipping. Replacement plugs are included in the unit packaging.

Connect the exhaust duct work to the back of the unit and clamp it in place with a screw-tightened O clamp. Connect the other end of the duct work to the exhaust port with a second O clamp. If a bend needs to be placed in the duct line, it should be attached with 45 degree joints.

Install the temperature sensors through the left conduit on the back side of the unit. Feed the sensor through the pipe beneath the boiler jacket to the left side of the boiler. Route it below the mount for the side panel near the rear of the unit. Tie it in place with cable ties.

Shut off the power to the breaker unit the gasifier will be wired to. If you are not comfortable with electrical wiring or local ordinances require wiring to be done by a professional, call in an electrician to complete this part of the install. If not, run heat-resistant silicone wiring through the right conduit on the back of the unit. Attach the positive and ground wires to the leads on the exterior of the plenum. Run the other end of the wire to a 240 V 10 amp breaker and connect it in the fuse box. Turn the power back on.
