Wood burner Co2 ?

If I have a woodburner ( brand new ) right next to grow, could this supplement Co2 rather then a natural gas Co2 Gen ?

Please do more research... Combustion of wood creates carbon monoxide, and redirecting that into your grow area could have deadly consequences.

i agree with the combustion part creating a lot of carbon monoxide, along with other bi products.. maybe im wrong. natural gas also has a bi product of carbon monoxide and what not, but had been time tested to work, along with propane. :)
bottled co2 is a pain in the rump and may be out of the question for your room size. but its effective :)

there might be a way to channel off the co2 like the blue ox gen i think it was called. co2 sinks but i wouldnt waste my time with a wood source. if you manage to do it without introducing alot of contaminates let me know.if this could work i am moving back to maine free co2 with your heating. lol

CO sinks also...

If the wood is combusting completely, little or no CO is produced. So all you need is a tank of O2 and a properly designed burner. Which of course is way more trouble than just a tank of CO2.
