Dear Alex We have had some hilarious discussions during the (boring) tests about piping the outdoor emissions of neighbours into the stove.
I do recall a guy inventing a radiator plating that cleaned the air as it passed over the hot surface. The result was a net reduction in ozone etc. Was that Honda? Just landed in the fabled city if Detroit. They could use some of that here.....

Since you have real time PM monitoring you should be able, while your stove is running, to place a lit cigarette in the air intake of the stove then later in a hole in the chimney after the flame and measure the difference. This would confirm your air cleaning stove hypothesis and perhaps add to your "great fun". Alex Crispin Pemberton-Pigott wrote: > Dear Friends > > 2.
