gas producer
A furnace in which coal is burned for the manufacture of producer gas. There are two types: (1) the step-grate, natural-draft generator, which is but a development of the ordinary firebox; and (2) the shaft furnace, with or without a grate and worked by a natural or forced draft. The latter type is identical in many respects to a blast smelting furnace.
