The problem with burning wood isn't so much the carbon emission as it is the fine particles in wood smoke which lodge in the lungs. Where I live in California the installation of wood burning stoves has been banned as the American Lung Association has been educating municipalities on the problem. My mother lives in Tuscany and I've been amazed when I've visited in the fall and winter on how poor the air quality has been from wood burning fires. I know there's no easy or economical answer to heating in rural areas but just think people should be aware of the problems with burning wood. Here's an excellent link on the issue. http://www.lungusa.org/site/pp.asp?c=dvLUK9O0E&b=23354

Just wondering if anyone has ever removed many layers of wax from cotto. My friend recently purchased a house with so much wax on the cotto tiles you can barely see the tiles! Is it a huge undertaking to remove all of the wax and start again? Thanks.
