    I'm flying solo these days and hate to dust. Are there any air cleaners that can handle the dust a stove/insert generates? TIA!

    SmokeyTheBear has a very interesting one, maybe he'll jump in and tell you about it.

    air scrubber is what I call them. Get a can carbon filter and an inline duct fan. mate them together and it will clear the air.
    I use one for my camper because I smoke.
    I plug it in and in 15 minutes or less it's clean. They can be loud but you can also set them on a timer. I just manually run the camper scrubber.

    There’s a homemade design with a box fan and 4 furnace air filters.

    I bought a pair of these. I gave em a try since my house has electric wall heaters, so no central furnace with a filter. 3 speeds and timer settings of 2, 4, 6, & 8 hours. I mostly turned them on for 8 hours when I got home from work, with one set on speed #1 and the other at #2. My electric bills went up about $10 a month with them in use.
    Because I'm a wood heat nerd, I did find myself constantly thinking about how a device shooting colder air up from the floor might affect the heat loop from my insert.
    Overall I give them a thumbs up.
