I burn wood, but use a modern catalytic stove that meets EPA standards. I get all the free wood I need to heat my home off Marketplace giveaways and the local yard waste site.

I'm also on a Facebook page dedicated to wood stoves. There's a vocal subset there that thinks anything that uses modern tech to be more efficient and cleaner is a government conspiracy to take their stoves. They're kinda like the "rolling coal" diesel truck drivers or crazy gun nuts. And I'm over here like, I just don't want to have to go through 10 truckloads of wood a year, it's a lot of work to gather and chop all that, give me the most fuel efficient stove please.
