On the other hand, wood stoves and wood shops have peacefully

are not there watching it, Clean the stack annually and follow code
for installation.

Combustible material in the presence of flame is an obvious fire
hazard.
Who said anything about explosion?

I think some of us saw that as implied in your original reply Doug. Your
reply below would seem to only apply to explosion since airborne dust
burning is not a very realistic concern.

Yes. And you might be, even *with* a dust collection system,
because of
fine
airborne dust that comes through the filters or is never collected
in the first place (dust collection systems are not 100% effective).
