You are right, it don't cover the epa certifications process. Didn't mean it to.
Just one link, I found, for referencing waste oil burning.
Recycled oil, not waste oil in today's language may be more accurate.
Slamming a guy for burning used engine oil, just didn't sound right to me. Sorry.
We Alaskans burn oil. That's bad
Thank you Hogwildz
In my old non-cat stove, I would burn wood scraps, cardboard & paper. Not good for the cat stove I have now.
Many with out cat stove, burn various burnables successfully & get good heat out put. The guy who bought my old stove, wanted it so he could.
I do miss small "junk fires" but am happy I upgraded, better efficiency long term. Just have to go the the dump more often.
Well now, seems I struck a nerve with you huh Davey?
I didn't slam anyone, just pointed out the obvious. Many people burn many things ignorant to the fact that they are putting much more than Co2 or carbon into the air.
I am not a conservationist, by any mans, but I also don't consciously, purposely burn motor oil, or pressure treated wood, or brag about the the "trash burner".
Sounds a little more than just a few drops of oil being burned. So whether it sounds right or not to you, I could give a rats ass. I am not here to treat you with kid gloves and worry of hurting your pride or feelings, or upsetting you. That is on you, not me. Just because you live in a more out of the way, vast area, does not make conscious, intentional putting toxins in the air ok.
Justify it any way you want, it still the wrong thing to do. If you can't understand that, then there is no explaining it.
I used to burn my trash, after a while of smelling the nasty stuff burning out of it, I decided to stop. Just the right thing to do. Common sense.
So you are welcome, I would say I am sorry to have upset you, but I am not, so I won't.
Nothing personal, and I believe I was responding to Nates remarks. So you took it personal for some reason, and felt the need to get defensive towards me. Hmmm, wonder what that is about.
Oh well, life goes on. So, your welcome.
