This patent describes a process for manufacturing water gas in a gas-making set containing an ignited bed of solid fuel consisting of alternately heating said fuel bed during a heating period by burning a portion of said solid fuel by air blasting. This process involves alternately generating water gas during a water gas-generating period by passing steam through said heated fuel bed. The steps of heating the fuel bed during the first portion of said heating period of the cycle is: introducing liquid hydrocarbon fuel into said set, burning it therein with air, passing hot products of combustion produced thereby downwardly through said fuel bed, and during a succeeding portion of said heating period heating said fuel bed by upward air blasting.
