Properly operating a wood burning stove will release very little smoke. This is where the center stone is in the range of approx 300-600F (100-300C). The chimney will produce clear heat and there is no detectable smell when standing outside. Much different result than a fireplace.

It’s referred to as double combustion, or secondary combustion.

You often will not smell small particulate. In addition the problem here is that the stove has to be operated correctly and in good condition which, unfortunately, is not something you can rely on.
Is there any reason to believe that they are properly operated?
