I was just wondering how the Sedore and Tarm designes compare to a regular stove in terms of efficiency and emmissions.
better? worse?
exactly the same?

Anybody burning in Sedore or other 'exotic' stoves?

I know MSG had researched and planned to carry that line of stoves maybe he will charm in or pm him
So it's almost fall, and many of us making our way back to Hearth.com as the weather cools, so I want to repeat the question.
Everybody talks about efficiency and emissions of cat vs non cat. But what about the less common designes? how do they stack up?

As a Sedore user I can say they are a massive radiant heating device of which I've seen no comparison? I have two model 3000 stoves which I've been completely satisfied with for many years. In my home the Sedore is in the attached garage and heats the entire house from that location with no circulation. Granted its not 80 degrees in my bedroom on the opposite side of the home but nothing in the house frieze's and in most parts its quite comfortable. Being in the garage its easy access to wood and sits on the concrete slab. I've got water coils to install for tapping into the present hot water system but seem to never get around to installing them, as its quite comfortable the way it is. I also don't want to rely on electricity for my heat as we lose power frequently here in Northern Minnesota and have had over two weeks where it was -20F already this year with the worst yet to come.

NFPA says no stoves in residential garages, but they do not clarify what is a garage and what is a shop. I have a Pellet Stove (with permit, etc.) in my garage.
I think they are speaking about attached garages (sharing house walls) where cars, power equipment, gasoline, etc. is stored, but the exact definition may be up to the AHJ.
I'll look in the 2006 NFPA and the other mechanical codes to see if they have expounded on that.
BTW, it seems as if Canada DOES allow stoves in garages, but they need to be a certain distance off the floor. That used to be the code here also, the idea being that gas fumes may hang around low. In NJ I remember even gas hot waters in the garage were built on platforms for this exact same reason.
