She is right, poorly combusted diesel will have by products you would want to avoid, the same as an exhaust stack of an efficient diesel engine. If you soak a small rag, cardboard or what have you, it will burn longer, do what you want most likely, as soon as it ignites you will want to close those doors, thats why I mentioned above, build your fire right, combustibles up to the small, then larger pieces, dry seasoned wood, you won't have to fool with it until you need to add wood, screw that up, get a bad start, it goes out, best let those fumes draft up and out, if you open those doors, you may not appreciate it LOL! I go through this with my stove, do it one time right, if it fails and I have to go back in, I always get smoke in the area as its a top loader, but has a bottom door which is even worse if you have to go back in. I try keep the fire further back from the flue so the flames don't go up the chimney on start up, it can go like a blast furnace, turn the pipe red, even with the damper choking it off. I don't waste as much heat up the stack, stove puts out more heat, the drawback is on start up, if I have to fool with it, I get smoke inside, of course I can build a small fire towards the back, let it go, then rake it back when I reload works too, and I can stoke without smoke coming out. I learned to make the fire right the first time with this arrangement or I will get the above. Once the flue is warm, wood has burned a little while, I can open the top to a certain point and stoke as needed, no smoke or fumes, all of this is unique, but I thought its worth a mention as I think I see what your concerns are, no sane person wants half combusted diesel/wood smoke/fumes in their house LOL !!!!

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
