Those cheesy "waterstoves" have been restricted in Vermont, for exactly
that reason, with more or less that restriction (expressed as minimum
setbacks and chimney-height restrictions, plus some additional
restrictions based on air movement in valleys). However, there are
_also_ actual, clean-burning, non-smouldering furnaces, which could be
installed inside, that can also be installed in a separate outbuilding
(keeping the fire out of the shop), and because they are are actual
clean-burning furnaces, are treated differently by the air-pollution
laws. Not at all incidentally, they give you more heat from the same
wood, becasue they actually burn the wood.
