Outdoor Wood Burning Furnaces (OWFs)   and Wood Stoves

  {Picture of smoky OWF.}
An improperly operated OWF, or one with too short of a stack, may 
not comply with state air pollution laws.

Outdoor Wood Burning Furnaces (OWF) - An OWF is essentially a wood-fired boiler in a small, insulated shed with a smoke stack. 

Wood Stoves - Woodstoves significantly contribute to air pollution –  if you are considering burning wood, there are ways to reduce this pollution by burning cleaner and more efficiently.
