Dear Otto >I have "never" heard about stoves. which can burn wet wood cleanly, apart from boilers, may be.
There are good reasons why boilers can burn wet wood - if they are designed to do so. I demonstrated to Dr AD Karve a stove that was burning very damp wood at ETHOS, perhaps 2007 - was burning very cleanly. Basically it requires preheating the primary air. As very few stoves preheat the primary air, they do not deal with damp fuel well. Very dry fuel can also make a lot of condensed particulates, principally by burning so fast that it runs out of secondary air. That is one way to manufacture carbon nanotubes.
