Wood Gun High Efficiency Gasification Wood Boiler.
The Wood Gun wood gasification boiler by Alternate Heating Systems utilizes the most advanced technology in wood burning and is perhaps the most efficient wood burning device on the market today. This uncompromising multifuel system is ideal for any residential application where wood or wood by-products are used as fuel. The AHS Wood Gun is available in residential sizes ranging from 100,000 to 250,000 BTU’s and commercial sizes up to 1,000,000 BTU.
Features:
- Automatic cycling on and off in response to heating or hot water demand.
- Domestic hot water coil provides abundant quantities of hot water.
- Exceptionally safe and clean burning. The use of dense refractory material cast into specific shapes causes complete combustion to occur at temperatures of up to 2000° F.
- When operated properly in the gasification mode, visible smoke is eliminated and creosote formation inside the chimney is prevented.
- The large cyclone separator removes most of the fly ash resulting in very
low emission.
- Spontaneous re-ignition of the wood will occur after an off period of 2-4 hours
Re-ignition is dependent on the refractory temperatures.
- Automatic fuel delivery systems are available for wood waste products such as sawdust, shavings, woodchips and densified biomass. These are designed more for industrial/commercial applications rather than residential.
- Wood Gun readily adapts to new or existing hot air systems through the use of a heat convection coil.
- The design maintains all heated walls at the same temperature using a "water wall". This constant temperature eliminates stress fractures caused by differences in temperature between components of the boiler thus increasing it's life. In addition, this design produces greater efficiency because heat that is normally lost through a drywall is captured in the water wall.

How it Works
Wood gas is produced by applying heat to wood, a process called pyrolysis. The wood gas is drawn through the bottom of the firebox and into our uniquely designed refractory by an induction fan. The gases are combined with oxygen and combusted in the refractory. The super heated gases pass through the interconnected refractory tunnels and in to our uniquely designed swirl chamber. This is where the bulk of heat exchange takes place. The superheated refractory then continues to gasify the wood remaining in the firebox. After combustion the residual ash is combined with high velocity air flow to scrub the heat exchanger preventing any build up. This process allows us to maintain an unparalleled consistency in heat exchange. Most ash exits the unit and is collected in the cyclone ash separator for fast and easy removal.
The Wood Gun cycles on and off much like an oil or gas fired boiler. During the off cycle, fuel is not consumed because oxygen is not present in the combustion chamber. With the large superheated refractory mass, re-ignition of the fuel occurs automatically when a drop in water temperature signal s the need for heat. (Automatic re-ignition will take place up to 5-6 hours depending on boiler size.)
During the off cycle, wood gas inside the firebox condenses on the inner walls forming a solid that will eventually fall off. This combines with the remaining fuel thus adding energy that in many other boilers goes up the chimney.

Stainless Steel Construction
All Wood Gun boilers use 1/4" thick Type 304 stainless steel in the construction of the firebox and door frames. We use Type 304 stainless steel for its unsurpassed quality and longevity. Some of our stainless steel boilers have been in service for over 27 years and they show virtually no signs of deterioration.
Stack Temperature
Exhaust stack temperature is an indicator of transfer efficiency. During combustion, temperatures of around 2000° Fahrenheit can be obtained. Amazingly, our exhaust stack temperature ranges from about 260-300° Fahrenheit. This stack temperature is unheard of in the industry. The Alternate Heating Systems WoodGun is truly the pinnacle of wood fueled heating devices.
