	Don't Burn Garbage in Your Wood Stove
		While it may seem harmless enough, burning garbage is damaging to the environment, to your family's and your community's health, and to your wood burning system.
		One of the pollutants that results when paper and plastics are burned in a wood stove is dioxin, a highly toxic chemical that doesn't decompose and which builds up in the tissues of animals and humans.
		Even if burning garbage were not bad for the environment and bad for your wood burning equipment, it would still not be a good fuel because it makes very little heat and the large amount of resulting ash clogs up the firebox.

	Soapstone Wood Stoves and Soapstone Gas Stoves by Woodstock Soapstone Co.
		Wood is a renewable energy resource and burning wood is an economic and efficient use of the earth's energy.
		And, whether they are burned or are slowly oxidized as they rot on the forest floor, there is a balance between the carbon taken from the atmosphere by trees as they grow and that which is released once they die.
		You are still burning a fossil fuel and contributing to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

	Pyrography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pyrography is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker.
		Pyrography means "writing with fire" and is the traditional art of using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials such as wood or leather.
		Burning can be done by means of a modern solid-point tool (similar to a soldering iron) or hot wire tool, or a more basic method using a metal implement heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated with a magnifying lens.

	Burning Wood with Soapstone Wood Stoves and Soapstone Gas Stoves by Woodstock Soapstone Co.
		If you did not grow up in a house with a wood burning stove in the parlor (or in the family room or great room if you are younger), you are probably wondering what is involved in burning wood for heat and enjoyment.
		Look for someone who is honest about the types of wood he offers and how well seasoned it is. There is nothing wrong with buying green, unseasoned wood as long as the price reflects the fact that you cannot use it until you have taken the time to stack it and dry it.
		A: The catalytic combustor in your wood burning stove is a ceramic honeycomb device placed between the fire and the stove pipe.

	Wood fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A by-product of wood burning is wood ash, which in moderate amounts is a fertilizer, contributing minerals but is strongly alkaline.
		Wood is said to be a greenhouse gas lean form of heating since the combustion of a tree releases the same amount of carbon dioxide as is bound up by a growing tree.
		Wood heat was gradually replaced by coal and later by fuel oil, natural gas and propane heating except in rural areas with available forests.

	Wood Boilers, Wood Burning Gasification Boiler
		The wood is continually heated by the burning gases beneath it so that the gases continue to rise from the wood - the wood itself doesn't burn, only the gases.
		Since only the gases are combusted, the AHS wood boiler can burn wood with a wider range of moisture content than can a non-gasification wood boiler (see our wood gasification page for additional detailed information on moisture content of wood).
		When burning chunk wood in an AHS wood boiler, if the system is properly sized, the fire box typically only needs to be loaded two or three times a day (unless extreme cold conditions prevail).

	Wood Burning Fireplace
		An open wood fireplace consists of a hearth where wood is burned for heat and a chimney flue for expelling the smoke.
		Pellet stoves burn pellets made from sawdust and mill shavings; the pellets are loaded into a hopper at the top or front of the stove and delivered to the combustion chamber at a controlled rate by a motorized auger.
		Attach the Wood Surround: Attach the wood surround to the wall using construction adhesive and the appropriate fasteners.

	Wood Burning Tips for your fireplace or stove from FireplacesNow
		Wood burning fireplace inserts and stoves which are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and new state-of-the-art clean burning fireplaces help to reduce smoke by more than 85 percent.
		Catalytic wood stoves and fireplace inserts have ceramic honeycombed chambers coated with a metal catalyst (usually platinum or palladium) that works to increase the rate of combustion.
		With Non-Catalytic wood stoves, combustion occurs in the firebox.

	Mobile Wood-Burning Kiln
		The wood burned quickly and the heat was stored in a large tank that was usually made of insulation board and swimming pool liner.
		Such burners require excess air, as typically wood is burned without enough air, so there is incomplete combustion, which leads to the formation of creosote, which we call smoke.
		As contributor L says, the price of wood burning is not low, and then making power from it (unless there are government tax credits) is not economical today, especially on the small scale.

	MassDEP :: Heating Your Home With a Wood-Burning Appliance
		Fireplaces, indoor wood stoves, and other indoor wood-burning appliances can also bring harmful pollutants into your home if they are improperly installed, are loaded with too much fuel, have back drafts, or vent to chimneys or stovepipes that are cracked or in disrepair.
		With their large, smoldering fires and short smokestacks, outdoor wood boilers create heavy smoke and release it close to the ground, where it lingers and exposes everyone in the area to nuisance conditions and health risks.
		Although these units are designed to burn dry, seasoned wood, some people use them to burn green wood, which generates much more smoke, and even household trash or construction debris, which not only can release a harmful array of chemicals but is also against state law.
