scrubber for wood heater??

Looking for any information on building a scrubber or a solution to the smoke from a wood fired hot water system. I have heard that one method is a fine mist of water into the flue is one method of reducing some of the smoke, Is this water reused or is it all vaporized? any other solutions? any information would be appreciated.

Proper combustion (temp, a/f ratio) of reasonable quality, reasonably dry fuel will result in no smoke. Pretty much a given for current, EPA-approved, woodstoves.
Functionally, get combustion to take place completely, then transfer heat. High combustion temperatures are critical. Much research has been done on this.

The water mist was for ash and soot just like the cyclone separators

......proper combustion like previous post is more in line. Unless you got pressure combustion which also has problems with NOx.......any rate you want proper combustion and lower than 1200F,roughly. The scrubbers are more in line with a large commerical solid fuel boiler for a light plant generating electricity. It might be added that catalytics are "scrubbers " removing tar,soot, and burnables from the smoke. And many factory built units have them already installed..
