trying to figure out if a first gen Fischer grandpa bear can used in oregon legally

trying to figure out if a first gen Fischer grandpa bear can used in oregon legally in a already used location and can they be certified???

No it can't be certified. Is this a new home purchase? If so, the stove was supposed to be removed.

Are you in Tulalip, WA or OR?

I think it's technically illegal to sell them as well but there all over craigslist. I think if you are the original homeowner you can use them but you can't install it or sell it.

Not only on Craigslist;

Government telling you it's illegal to sell your own property - lovely.

To the OP - Call your insurance company and ask them what they require on your end when installing a wood stove. Plus, who are they to know what kind of stove you already had there? I think you had it there for years

It is against the law to sell, offer to sell, or advertise to sell any uncertified solid fuel burning device in Oregon.

That should explain the original posters question as well.
And no, it's not an antique. Most laws are written considering antique stoves to be built before 1940.

I think the OP is selling in WA state. Washington forbids sale or installation of residential indoor wood stoves that are exempt from EPA regulation.
