This reminded me of a cool technology that I've forgotten the name of and can't find again online. It was some sort of wood-burning stove that loaded sticks from the top and would recirculate the smoke until the fuel burned off, then the cooled gasses would naturally flow out of the system. Instead of a chimney that went up, there was a small port on the outside of the building, where smokeless, room-temperature gasses would exit.
The design was dead simple with no fans or anything, just using convection. But because the idea is so new, there are very few of them and no regulation yet. Does anyone remember what these things are called?

- Rendello 5y agoA similar concept, but no. These ones are long, almost like a sofa, and I believe you can actually sit on the long clay part because it's not the part releasing much heat. bananabiscuit's link was a bit closer, but I believe the heaters we're thinking of are a more recent development.
