I was browsing the latest issue of popular mechanics magazine and was very pleased to see an article about wood heat. After reading I was even more pleased with how factual and seemingly thorough they were and nothing negative about wood heat. They covered wood stoves pellet stoves and pellet boilers with a short mention of masonry heaters. Although the article seemed to detail more the pellet stoves and boilers. All in all I was very pleasd to see a fair presentation of Biomass heat as they called it.
