The invention provides a method for automatically removing tar oil from a fixed-bed biomass gasification furnace. The lower section of the gasification furnace produces biomass gas, the upper section of the gasification furnace is provided with a gas channel, the space in the gas channel is cooled, and the temperature of the gas produced by the lower section of the gasification furnace is reduced when the gas passes through the gas channel from bottom to top, so that tar oil in the gas is separated out. According to the method, the production efficiency of the gas is not influenced, and no pollution is caused to an external environment and circulating water; one part of the heat produced by gas cooling is used for drying fuel on a drying layer in the furnace, so that little heat is taken away through cooling of the circulating water; during cooling of the gas, a great amount of tar oil is recycled and participates in gasification again, so that the energy utilization rate is greatly improved, and the saved heat is more than the lost heat caused by cooling; and furthermore, as the temperature of the gas is low, the requirement on an auxiliary machine, an instrument, pipelines and the like is greatly reduced, and thus the investment cost is saved.
