Summer lingered a little longer than usual this year, with a string of hot and humid days in September and October. Now, temperatures have dipped below freezing and folks are lighting up their wood stoves and fireplaces.
Which brings us to our Only in NH <http://nhpr.org/term/only-nh#stream/0> question this week: Evan asked "Why does no one know or care that wood smoke is as bad for you as diesel smoke or cigarette smoke?
Virginia Prescott asked Outside/In host Sam Evans-Brown to help us smoke out the facts.

The article claims pellet stoves have only 1/28th of the smoke emission of wood stoves. Which wood stoves?
