Ostroskey said, "No one thinks they will experience a fire, but sadly so many do over the holidays. Be sure that your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are in good working order and review your home escape plan with family and guests."

What happened in France is instructive. In 2015, the city of Paris got within a hair’s-breadth of banning wood-burning in open fires, but with just days to go, the French Ecology Minister, Ségolène Royal, attacked the proposal as ‘ridiculous’.

“Marissa!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I frantically grabbed my little green plastic bucket, and it quickly filled up with an unpleasant smelling liquid that was supposed to be water. Now God love her, my wife is beautiful and a fantastic cook. And what a great mom she is to Jesse James and Daniel Boone, but she has three speeds: slow, Tai Chi Master and sleeping. And slow is the fastest.

The Netatmo by Starck Smart Thermostat — named after its famous designer, Philippe Starck — isn’t the only smart thermostat that aims to help reduce your energy bills (by 37%, according to Netatmo).

The competing stoves will feature WIFI connectivity, sensors and micro-processors that eliminate the need to manually adjust air flow and help ensure a much cleaner and efficient combustion. Other competing wood stoves and boilers will generate enough electricity to power everything from a cell phone to part of a home or electric vehicle. One European pellet boiler at the Design Challenge will be charging a Tesla.

More than 10 million American households use wood stoves to heat their homes, but they are a significant source of ambient particulate matter (PM) emissions. The technology boom of the past few decades has largely missed the wood stove industry, yet innovation still holds great promise. Moreover, all stoves in America were tested for EPA certification with 2x4s for fuel. The Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management and Brookhaven National Lab, with support from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, have been researching new methods for the next generation of assessment protocols for wood heating appliances.

But wood stoves still add an extra dose of particles into the air: in fact, a wood-burning stove emits more particles per hour than a modern diesel lorry.
