Wood Gas Producers

The first recorded producer was that of Bischof (1839), and 1st gas producer driven vehicle was built by J.W. Parker 1901. The early model producers were very cumbersome & heavy and even today producers are still manufactured along the same lines as the early German designs.

Gas producers can be fitted to a generator set, tractor, motor vehicle, or simply for heating purposes such as water heating, grain drying etc.
