What is claimed is: 1. A gasification system comprising: a high temperature gasifier for operating at a first temperature; a low temperature gasifier for operating at a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature, the low temperature gasifier being located downstream from the high temperature gasifier; and a cyclone separator connected between an outlet of the high temperature gasifier and an inlet of the low temperature gasifier. 2. The gasification system of claim 1, wherein the first temperature of the high temperature gasifier includes a temperature range of at least 1200° C. and the second temperature of the low temperature gasifier includes a temperature range that is less than about 870° C. 3. The gasification system as recited in claim 1, wherein the low temperature gasifier and the high temperature gasifier are each mounted directly to the cyclone separator. 4. The gasification system as recited in claim 1, further including a heat exchanger that is fluidly connected with the low temperature gasifier. 5. The gasification system as recited in claim 4, wherein the heat exchanger is fluidly connected with the high temperature gasifier. 6. The gasification system as recited in claim 5, wherein the heat exchanger is fluidly connected with the cyclone separator. 7. The gasification system as recited in claim 1, wherein the high temperature gasifier includes a first vessel and the low temperature gasifier includes a second, different vessel. 8. The gasification system as recited in claim 1, wherein the high temperature gasifier and the low temperature gasifier include separate and distinct internal volumes. 9. A gasification system comprising: a high temperature gasifier that includes a first vessel for operating at a first temperature; a low temperature gasifier that includes a second, different vessel for operating at a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature, the low temperature gasifier being located downstream from the high temperature gasifier; and a cyclone separator connected between the high temperature gasifier and the low temperature gasifier. 10. The gasification system of claim 9, wherein the cyclone separator is connected between an outlet of the high temperature gasifier and an inlet of the low temperature gasifier.
