I think that a study, surveying all of the woodburners who are members of the site, showing how much oil/gas/electric we are NOT using now, due to using wood, would be awesome!:chainsawguy:

burning wood has been good for my health!
cutting, loading, splitting, stacking wood means I'm moving around tons of weight. human body was meant to thrive on stress... when that stress is not present... it deteriorates... breaks downs without coming back stronger.
it's well documented elderly folks that lift weights have much less bone loss.
now days, wood burners are much ... much more efficient. the only time you see smoke coming out of my chimney is during startup. after wood insert gets up to temps.. it burns hot and clean... you can barely any smoke from chimney.
properly adjusted there should NO smoke inside house. especially with door open to load wood. would want to trust door seals to keep carbon monoxide from inside house.
there's little to NO smoke smell inside my house. there's a CO monitor right above my wood insert just to be sure.

Solvents first post on page 2 of this discussion. Not sure why he deleted it but it shows he edited the original post.
I hope I didn't offend any other members out there with my comments. It just seems that the majority of this kind of BS comes from SOCAL. I get out there for work more than I like to and I have seen some really weird stuff / individuals there!!! I like it here in Michigan..... Clean Air, Clean Water and Good people.

I was wondering the same thing. If he lived up here by me when it is -40 f he might enjoy burning wood for extra heat a little more. There is no way burning nat. gas or propane would be environmentally cleaner. But in reality we are not rich and burning wood sure helps the pocket book.
Back during the energy crunch of the 70's,I sold wood stoves and Chainsaws. I sold Fishers and Riteways. To keep up with info and trends I went to a seminar at Notre Dame University. A professor who gave one of the talks, talked about wood burning and air pollution. He said that a log laying in the forest rotting gave of the same amount of toxins as a similar log burning in a stove. The stove just put them out quicker,where as the one in the woods took years. I realize that if you live in certain areas,and there are enough stoves,the smoke is going to be bad. Normally wood stoves are scattered out pretty good,and pollution is not an issue. Naturally forrest fires put out a lot more smoke in a given area,and this is natural. Burning wood is a natural thing,and happens in nature. Where as oil and gasoline are not normally found in nature. I think people are worrying to much about wood,in the long term it is a lot safer then other forms of fuel.

No, No, No!!!....
I'm sure you didn't really mean to write that!
Let me re-arrange that sentence for you.
.......but I do realize that there are places where population densities mean it is just not good for the globe.
Seriously, think about it. Saying the real problem is too many humans in a small area of earth is politicial suicide for those making the big bucks( and don't make tax money from fire wood).

Hey! I'm a "Dang Hippie" and I've been burning wood for more than thirty years. I'm a tree hugger too and I got plenty of them to hug or saw as the case may be.

Chuck,
If you're burnin' wood, you ain't a Modern "Hippie".
Apologies if I rubbed your fur wrong.
I hug trees as well, just before cutting. The rest Just get fertilizer now and then, and a spray when needed.
Stay safe!
