people that make comments that don't agree with you must work for OWB mfg's? lol. These comments are made out of concern for a family's ability to keep warm during the winter, and a deep, deep hatred of selfish asses that feel they have rights so broad as to nott be bothered by any action of another; people that whine constantly about viewing and possibly smelling a little relatively harmless woodsmoke.

I heat with wood pellets and a wood stove that respectively put out 2.4 and 4.2 gr/hour particulate matter and exit my chimneys at 38'. That POS 93 feet from my kitchen window and 2' below it puts out 72 gr/hour IF it were burning dry, seasoned firewood.

You should look into history a little yourself. Life expectancy has nearly DOUBLED since the invention of gas and electric cooking and heating and the elimination of wood stoves from inside the home. 3rd world countries that still use wood for cooking and heating have much higher rates of cancer and respiratory disease. I wouldn't worry so much about your overseas enemies- you are turning your neighbors into your enemies right here at home by your pyro fascination. Weird, to say the least.

Why is it that everybody is posting videos of their neighbors boilers? Must be a lot of jealous people out there that can't afford them!!

REATIVELY HARMLESS?? Acidorian, you need to read up a little since you dropped out of school.

The smoke, the unfinished building with siding missing, the piles of wood, it shows what white trash can do to ruin a neighborhood.

I'd be more upset having to look at a shed half wrapped in tyvex versus the smoke coming from that chimney.

Woodchuck is right. It's too bad we can't see all the emissions we breathe from oil burning and automobiles. Unlike OWB mfrs., the car makers figured out how to "hide" the smoke in plain sight. It's hard to fight something invisible. Still, OWB's still emit 10-40 times as much cancer causing particulate matter as a modern automobile, so says the EPA, As for trees left to rot, at least they wouldn't be rotting in my living room, which is where the smoke from the OWB ends up.

dcb25, woodchuck2222, 43fastcars -- My guess is these guys work for an OWB mfr. They spam videos of people who are having health and nuisance issues with wood boilers, then belittle them. They have no interest in hearing the real problem, because none of them can see past their wallets. They show more compassion toward mechanical devices than their fellow humans.
