Yeah!!! It eats up our carbon credits too fast to burn dead / diseased timber. We must spend money for ethanol manufacturing to burn fuel in our autos at $7/gal. It doesn’t use up carbon credits because the greenies say so.

Pellets burn much, much cleaner than logs. I had a pellet stove for several years & it produced next to no smoke. Previously, I had an airtight log stove & learned how to burn with minimum smoke — the pellet stove burned cleaner all by itself. Pellet stoves use an auger to feed the pellets in at just the rate they burn — they also pump in combustion air, so that there is never any smoke caused by a lack of sufficient oxygen. Also, pellets are several times dryer than even well seasoned, air-dried logs.

Colorado has some pretty scrict restrictions on fireplaces, but the pellet stoves are usually designed to be low emmission.
