I took note of a message by Andries Weststeijn on this list talking about wood stoves and burning drift wood or wood fuel containing salt. I happen to know a guy in Burlington Ont., Charles Perrault, who has a patented process for putting a ceramic coating on sheet metal. He's made stoves out of this stuff that are impervious to salt soaked wood. He's using one of these stoves to heat his 2500 sq ft. house and it weighs 65 lbs. It's 26 gage steel. His company is called EcoHeat and there's no web site yet.
