Here's a few pics of my view off my front steps this morning, my neighbor/ friend has an old conventional boiler, as I looked down toward the road I saw a cloud of smoke, people used to think it was my old Wood Doctor, it ain't me, see for yourself!

Who cares...Trump won't

I wish I had some pictures from my old Shaver smoking up the entire area. You could see my place from over a mile away just from the smoke it would put out. I don't think my G200 has even smoked out my own driveway this year

My old one would smoke pretty bad sometimes, especially if the tarp blew of the wood and got wet, temperature inversions were real bad. Smoke come out the stack, drop to the ground, flow down the hill and thru the pasture and eventually cross the road a 1/4 mile away, was always waiting for somebody from the county to pull in when it did that.

Got free wood who cares,,and wife likes the excercise

Yeah I get all the wood I need. My manager at the power company is over all the tree trimming. I just get all of my wood in the summer time and store in two barns. The wife is about ready to have our second boy any day now. I have released her from wood duty until February, she was disappointed. She is a keeper!!

Yep 10-4 Jowen.
My wife helps out with the wood and stove duties also.
Buying blower for the atv so she can blow out the driveway.
Not afraid of a little hard work ,,and some fun



She's a keeper, also

My brother in law lives about 1/2 mile from me and has an H-2, his house is in a valley and when his boiler fan kicks on he smokes up the whole valley.  He burns only seasoned wood and keeps it covered and dry.
My son-in-law lives in our old house at the upper end of the valley but still not on a hill and burns whatever, hardly smokes at all. He is using our old H-2.

We live on top of a hill and have virtually no smoke at all from our H-4. Most of the time I only see the heat signature above the flue.
Can't figure out why his smokes so much, not that anybody cares together. we all own about 500 acres.
His also makes charcoal cant figure that either, I end up with powdery ashes, he has chunks of charcoal..

I am at the end of a dead end road with four homes. Three of us have owb, and the other neighbors are a father and his son's families. Spread enough we dont smoke each other.

I have an old (new to us) P&M that seems to send a plume of steam up on some days, but very seldom does it result in smoke that we can smell.
Some of the wood we are burning now is dry small stuff meant for our airtight fireplace as my "wood crew" just didn't get around to cutting all the logs I had piled. Now those logs are covered with snow and ice so they want to find and cut some dead trees along out driveway.
My vote is for the dead maple and ash logs from the pile but I am 72 and my wood crew is free. They also fill the OWB twice a day as it heats their house too.
