Outside Wood Furnaces

Anyone who really thinks Anthracite is not clean has never seen an outside wood furnace trying to burn green wood on a warmer day like yesterday when I pulled into a shop and the place was heated by a outside water furnace. The thing just shut itself down and I had my dogs in truck with me and I had to move..i was downwind of it and you could not see 5 feet in front of you....
These idots should burn dry wood like a normal person wood and eliminate about 99% of the complaints...No wonder whole towns are outlawing the installation of these units. Besides waht waste good wood using all the energy to shove the water out the vent pipe???
dry wood makes heat you can use green wood makes smoke and litle heat unless your designed to use the moisture ladden smoke for burning

Agreed, You and I have seen these in action and in actuality the base design of a burning tank surrounded by water plus burning wet pine gives a likely ~10-15 % efficiency not to mention the smoke. The guy I knew even boasted at being able to burn rotten wood, duh. The manufacturers also don't mention the maintence to loosen, then scrape the creosote in the firebox with kerosene if you want to get the pre-creosote efficiency back.
