I’ve read so many of this kind of piece that I’d like them to start including comparisons.
Eg- gas cookers are bad, but in real terms, the ppm increase in harmful stuff is less than the difference between air quality where I live and a city. How does this study relate to other air quality factors - wildfires, living near a large road, industrial area, or in a city. How do air purifiers change this, and which types of particulates are worse for health, and which can be filtered or reduced?
i mean it clearly isn't a very big issue since people have lived with it for ages and been fine, AFAIK the actual significant problem is when you have a lot of people burning wood near each other, as that makes the local air quality worse and you can't really avoid it in any way.

I wish the article had presented available alternatives.

You could simply freeze to death.

Open the windows when I’m lighting and refueling. Got it.
I have a metal shop vac for cleaning mine, which might be a bit better than just shoveling it out. I’ll wear a mask.
