> Burn the wood quickly at a high temperature to minimize particle emissions. This is quite effective.

People don't appreciate the quantity of non carboniferous and long-chain carbon molecules exist in wood. Even if you burn it fast, have them in pellets in the most efficient burner that exists and have your filter, you are still emitting generating the most polluted air you can legally breath in Europe. This air is highly implicated in all manner of lung diseases including cancer.

So yeah, I appreciate there are multiple concerns at play, but there are extremely good reasons for decarbonisation, your and your neighbours health being a pretty big one.
