Gas heating does not produce any "smoke" at all. Wood burning, however, produces smoke which is much more toxic than tobacco secondhand smoke. It is best to completely avoid wood heating.

Wood smoke is much worse than tobacco second hand smoke. Wood smoke contains more than twelve times as many carcinogenic compounds, and is chemically active up to forty times longer in the lungs than tobacco.
NO! it makes it worse with all the smoke!
Heating with wood is cheaper than heating with natural gas, you can still heat the house even if the power goes out, and they create less smoke than a normal fireplace.
Like a woodburning smoker, the Masterbuilt is designed to smoke meat over the user's choice of wood, but it uses a tempature controlled electric heating element to heat the wood and produce the smoke.
wood doesn't melt on heating because while heating the compound required to change that substance into liquid gets evaporated quickly when we start heating.
Wet wood, vegetation, and plastics will make a thick, dark smoke that should not be breathed in. Dry wood and dead leaves make a thinner, grayish smoke.

Heating a wood splint is a chemical change. If this was done in something like a test tube, you will see many things occur that indicate this. First, you will see a werid kind of smoke, the splint turning into black stuff, and a really bad smell. Well the smoke is CO2 and the black stuff is ash from the burning. Because there is a new substance being made and the identity of the original substance(your splint) has changed, the reaction is chemical.
