Soon as you say outdoor furnace everyone says they smoke all the time,even if they have never been around one.My FIL hollered,They smoke,They smoke.He's only seen one,has no idea what kind it is,but knows they smoke,they smoke.After seeing mine,he won't admit it,but knows that is not true.I always point out how much it smokes when he comes up.He made such a big deal out of how much they smoke.Mine will pour the smoke out at first burning green wood but will settle down after a few minutes.There is a business in town with one just like mine.I feel if you dry your wood the way it should be for a regular wood stove that helps out alot.
