Well, my buddy and I were considering using for our automated hydroponics system, a wood pellet stove. It would provide heating, as well as saturate the air inside with more CO2.

Higher CO2 would, we believe, increase photosynthesis, decrease growing season, and make better tasting plants. We would use a tiny bubbler and a feedline from outside for O2 rich air for the fishes.

It might not just increase CO2 inside. It might also increase CO. Be careful with that...

Have you guys done a small-scale test?

We were going to, but medical emergency hit. We delayed it, and am in somewhat a holding phase.
