Pls, if you know how one might go about this i'd be very interested. I heat almost exclusively with a wood stove. My house has electric baseboard back up heating but electricity here is very expensive.

Bane, I guess it depends on your point of view...personally while I realize that wood stoves are certainly not very effiecient. I for one could not afford to heat our 2000 + sq. Ft. home w/o it. But, since I have a professional as well as personal interest in the well being of the environment any furhter information on this topic would be very helpful.

Fortunately, the city here abouts totals 1500 souls, and we almost always have prevailing winds off the ocean. So, I'm not immedeiately on a local basis overly concerned regarding the smoke problem.
