Ok, so I was riding down the road in Haines, Alaska today when on the left I saw this big green Garn machine, with a sign that said "Smokeless Heat." Seeing as I am in southeast Alaska, I didn't think I would ever see one of these things in person. I didn't have any time to take a closer look, but it is encouraging to see none the less. It is also interesting to me that it is less than half a mile from a store that sells smoky OWB's and has had the same one on his lot for over a year. As I was talking to my driver about it, I learned that another fellow in Haines had one of those fancy "wood gasifier" setups that I should see. Next time I am in Haines, it is a date. Finally, on my ride to the airport I find that my new chaffeur is in the process of installing a wood boiler in their home. She was not sure of the type, but I am betting it is another gasifier. So, all in all, it was a very exciting trip to Haines. I will report any new findings on future trips as they happen.
