"Smokeless" fuel isn't smokeless. The burning of such fuel caused a significant rift between my parents and their neighbour. He burned smokeless fuel, and the fumes made it impossible for my mum to work in her garden; tight chest, difficulty breathing. Even I found it unpleasant and hard to breath when that stuff was blowing up the hill. Bungalows on a slope put his chimney, two doors down, too close to nose level.
I have a Contura 51L wood stove and in addition to all the stuff mentioned, about having to cut, split and store wood, the other thing that does not make it into the pretty brochures is the shear mess that you get with logs shedding saw dust, bark and spider webs, then the inevitable bits of ash and charcoal that fall from the door when re-fueling.
