[Stoves] Emissions from Residential Wood

What a great idea!

I like the part about giving a table for energy output based on the moisture
content of the fuel.

It is quite possible that a stove would be rated at two or three levels of
moisture and that the listing would give a benchmark (reasonably expected)
emissions level and specific fuel consumption.

If it were expressed in kg, not dried kg, it would mean something to the
average user instead of just stove geeks.

Tom, what do you think?  Will the national labs got for that in a standard?

Thanks
