Re: Possible D&S Smoke Remedy?

Both wood and coal have volatiles, and the volatiles of each contain toxic compounds. It would seem that the objective would be to burn the volatiles rather than releasing them as smoke. I wonder if the D&S smoke problem may largely arise from maintaining an overnight fire that is hot enough to require stoking, and yet, cool enough to allow volatiles escape unburned.
The article cites the use of the wood product in the boiler at the lumber milling plant, and points out that no visible smoke is produced. However, this may not be an application that is comparable to the D&S overnight firing because the plant boiler is working at full capacity, with adequate draft and combustion air. The plant boiler could probably burn coal with no visible smoke.
