They are very efficient - they make more heat for the same number of pounds of wood compared to other types of wood heaters.
They can easily run on what would otherwise be "waste" products, such as wood chips.
Wood chips or pellets are sort of the most popular fuel. If you use a more or less "standardized" wood chip size, you can somewhat automate the gasifier, such as having an auger automatically feed in fuel.
They are easy to integrate with hot water systems.
They can create synthesis gas, which can be used for other uses, such as cooking or running an internal combustion engine, as generator might use.
They are very safe - everything is sort of self-contained - minimal moving parts, open flame, etc.
