I was recently contacted about a new wood stove user survey. I told them the bet place to get responses is this site! Here is the email I received explaining the survey and how you as a wood burner can participate.

Please try again. And thanks. Contact at Lab said it was not set for multiple responses and should work now with the links below.

I filled it out. There are some bad assumptions on chimney pipe and firewood seasoning in the survey and burning habits don't include milder climate, like PacNW climate heating.
