Hey! Hasn’t there been an argument AGAINST burning wood per a fireplace because it is too polluting? bwahahahahahahahahaha

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

A unit I’m working on now called a Stratified Downdraft Gasifier converts the pellets to horticultural grade charcoal and producer gas which is a low btu version of natural gas.

I love it - it’s a gas!

If Colorado has so many homes with fireplaces that they have to make using them against the law, then they are overpopulated and I wouldn't live there for anything.

(The right to have, and the freedom to use a wood burning fireplace, is second only to the right to bear arms in my book.)

I remember the seventies when wood-burning stoves were all the rage. Some fashionable ski-lodge communities sure got a living-history lesson on old-fashioned air pollution when everybody in the valley started doing it.
