Interesting post!

Vermont must have some strict rules on smoke. I recently bought a hardy and I have seen some smoke but I have been burning dry wood and there is little to no smoke other than when the blower kicks on when in idle you see just a bit but I would ha e to think that burning in a standard indoor woodstove is more harmful because they have smoke rolling out if the chimney 27/7 that'd one if the reasons I bought a owb plus all the dirt and all staying outside I just think that some burn here wood and from what I have seen are giving owb a bad name but then again I haven't been burning wood fro a long time either I don't intend to make people mad but I don't see anything wrong with and owb smoking some compared to people burning trash leaves etc. in there fire pits out back just my opinion

i understand the dealer i bought mine off of told me to burn just about anything that will burn but since i have neighbors some what close i choose to burn dry seasoned wood to keep from smoking them out, i have talked to them and they are all curious to how the owb works the one neighbor even is thinking about buying one once he sees how mine operates. i too think that people could be more responsible about there buring practices. we here can burn leaves and trash about all year other than the occasional buring ban from 6 am to 6 pm

New England, New York and WA state have pretty strict OWB laws. OWB laws vary highy from state to state.

Years ago in our town a lady raised a fuss about burning leaves in the fall because her kid had asthma. Fine not a problem,but I stopped by their place one day to drop some paper work off and she comes to the door smoking a cigarette! Go figure!
