Am I in the house building forum? I'm just asking because I can't keep up with all the EXPERTS here anymore... Please everyone calm down and be kind to each other ;)
There are also ways to filter out particulate matter
Although no one seriously does that with a home fireplace. The problem is the same as it was with cars back then: filters cost money and don’t last forever. Besides, a filter can have unwanted side effects that then have to be compensated for in other ways. The engineers of course know that beforehand, but no one listens. And afterwards everyone acts all surprised...keyword nitrogen oxides.
The wood is checked for residual moisture by the chimney sweep.
How can I imagine that? How, when, and how often does such an inspection take place?
Am I allowed to give the chimney sweep a hint if our neighbor once again grabs into the pile with fresh wood and makes everything stink, smoke up, and makes ventilation impossible for us?

So far, I have only been at home once myself, because usually I am already at the office when the chimney sweep comes. He simply took a few logs from the wood box in front of the stove and measured the moisture with a measuring device.
