How much smoke does your wood stove produce?

I want to set up a wood stove sauna in my back yard but I'm concerned about bothering my neighbors with smoke. I think if I use kiln dried hardwood and keep my fire nice and hot, it shouldn't be any worse than when I'm using my big green egg. With the egg I only have smoke when I'm lighting it up or opening it to adjust something.

Can anyone with experience validate my hopes here?

I've got a Kuuma, and the smoke sounds similar to your Egg. Light whispy white smoke when I'm starting it, but once it's going (after 15-20 minutes) the exhaust out of the chimney is basically clear. When I add wood or stoke it, it'll be a little white for a few minutes before settling back down.

With a good stove you will only get smoke for a little while when you start the fire. After that there is pretty much no smoke at all.

As long as you have decent firewood.
