I wonder...
I realize that, to those doing the complaining in Durango, coal smoke smells "ickier" than wood but still I wonder.

What? oh yeah, since wood has lower btu's per lb than coal, doesn't burning wood put more actual pollutants into the air than burning an equivalent amount of coal? Especially if we are supposed to count CO2 as a pollutant now, I'd think.
