The ones that I have seen had secondary combustion of all those 
vaporized volatiles and soot. Done properly the creosote gets burned and 
the flue products are clean.

Solid fuel on the bottom essentially a gas burner on top.

The ones that have all the tubes in the secondary are mostly just heat 
extractor setups.
These are two very different animals.
