I am a wood stove burner and I have a question for you all. I keep reading that OWB are so dirty. First, are they really? Second, if they are, why? I don't know anybody who has one and I don't think I have ever even seen one. I am just curious.

Size of the door and the fact that smoke spillage isn't inside the home. And the mentality that you can make stuff disappear without too much effort (lazyness) regardless of what it does to the environment.

I know the Gasifers burn a lot cleaner and will most likely go that route eventually.
But all the OWB bashing here is not productive. Where does it end? In reality all burning wood is dirty compared to other options, even gasifier, compared to solar space heating. People heating with solar can look down there noses at people burning any type of fuel for heat. Is it practical for everyone, no it is just one of my random thoughts.
