Hi all
I am NOT a fan of wood burning heaters of any kind as the darn things put out smoke, that while each individual heater once up to temetrature is not too smokey, when everyone starts them up in winter and the wind is calm with a temperature inversion, the smoke is everywhere, last night after taking a pic of NGC 5128 I packed it in, the sky was just too light, the smoke particles acting as condensation nuclei causing fog to form, I could smell lots of woodsmoke in the air too. In a small town north of Newcastle called Gloucester every 2nd house has a wood fire because the firewood is cheap, on calm nights one can hardly breathe outside, must be a nightmare for asthmatics.
