PERFORMANCE OF CERTIFIED WOODSTOVES UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS
The paper discusses the monitoring of woodstove performance under field conditions in 34 Northeast U.S. houses for two heating seasons, and in 8 Northwest U.S. and 14 Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, houses for one heating season. Stoves included models certified or capable of being certified to Oregon De...
