Some more websites to look at on how you want to use the wood or others ways

Gets tar,cresote,and smoke out of the way on the way to a cleaner burn.
And can be included in your furnace as well.....actually have factory guys
already building them.
Included one address at the bottom...many more out there.
And a guy with a MIG can easily build them all.....
