Sure. But it turns out that wood ideally takes multiple years to dry, and the vast majority of people don't collect wood from the forest 2 years in advance. (Think about the effective interest rate on your time - you are putting in effort 2 years before seeing the benefits).
Instead, they collect wood 1 month before they use it (saving that 'interest'), and live with the fact their stove is a bit smokey.
But they are unaware that their smokey stove is giving them lung cancer and making their family sick too.
A stove design that could handle wet wood efficiently and without giving out deadly smoke would save a lot of lives and help the environment.
