I love a roaring fireplace and hate the government of San Francisco. Don’t believe in man made global warming.
But soot from burning wood is a serious pollutant and among the worst at damaging lungs. Everyone in my neighborhood has a fireplace and it gets hard to breathe out there at night.
Just saying.
Then, you buy a stove with a catalyst. Problem solved.
No problem. Achieve oxygen independence: Breathe less.
If it works for oil, it should work for everything else.
