Interesting article....scary actually. It's crazy laws/bans/ideas like this that make me feel a lot better about having my EKO in my basement. My neighbors likely just assume I have a plain jane fireplace....and she burns so clean.

I agree - scary, but how much of this did the OWB owners bring on themselves??? I would just hope that any gasifier folks in the area can show up and urge a more selective rule than just a flat ban...

I feel better with the Tarm as well, but I don't feel totally immune from potential problems down the road. I'm out of town about 10 miles so that keeps me from having anyone pointing fingers at us. Tarm produces very little smoke anyway, about as clean as it gets for a burn. Currently the Bourogh is tageting outdoor wood and coal boilers in town.
Fairbanks is also somewhat different than other areas, as the stakes are much higher. With an extremely well developed temperature inversion any exhaust is trapped close to the source, and the people that live there. My town can get choked by OWB smoke hanging close and it doesn't have an inversion like Fbx does. I can understand why they're reacting so strongly.
