Just how, exactly, are they detecting this “illegal” burning?I`ve been promoting catalytic stoves because once the catalyst ignites, they produce little smoke or smell.The key would then be how they detect this burning,if they use the smell and sight test a catalytic stove may be the way around the chimney police.

Smoke actually provides particles around which water droplets can form, resulting in RAIN.

When areas depended upon smoke fires for heat, they had more precipitation (RAIN).

London now doesn’t have the great fogs which were typical of the city for centuries—but neither does England have the RAIN it used to always get.

If you want RAIN, you seed the clouds.

If California wants RAIN, it shouldn’t forbid smoke.

I get very little smoke out of my Regency woodstove without a cat.
