Even a wood pellet stove has a lot of low temp condensing volatiles . . .

Great idea, but not going to work well with wood - even incredibly dry wood pellets.

Thanks, guys.
I was figuring on either replacing the water frequently, or adding ash to balance the ph and filtering out the sludge. Wood heat is a daily chore anyway, eh? I've got gas laid on here, but I think such a high-class fuel should at least be running a heat pump, but with fracking in the mix now, I'd rather quit entirely.

Any other options for super efficiency on wood, like an absorption heat pump?
