unless your wood heat source is air tight a danger is carbon monoxide and heavy

metal poisoning.

Re: Is smoke healthy?

We heat with wood. An outdoor furnace provides heat for the house and

hot water. A stove downstairs provides additional heat for the

downstairs and I cook (winter only) on a wood cookstove upstairs. I

have chest pains when low pressure keeps the smoke on the ground and

in the house. Don't think it's that great for me but it's just a 15-20

days out of the year that it is really bad.
