I assume there's too much airflow to use a urea-based filter like adblue or something in a home stove.

Though, if you could get the stove exhaust to pass through some liquid anyway (like the bubbler in a bong, but larger), wouldn't that deal with particulates effectively?

Why, these can be manufactured at the scale you need, and a home stove isn't especially powerful compared to a car or truck engine so even such a filter made for cars would work.

Not really, first of all you'd need your bubbles to be really small for that to work, and then you'd need something (a pump) to push the smoke through the water.
