No, the DDS wil have to be fed frequently with small quantities of fuel. 
The advantage will be no smoke, when it has attained operating temperature, 
it can be operated indoors and when needed contribute toward space heating.

I hope to be able in the near future, to report on its performance as a 
stove and about the composition of the flue gases.

Very best wishes for the New Year, we in Australia are already 18 hours 
into it.
