Spend money or be fined Really http://www.offthegridnews.com/curre...-stove-or-face-thousands-of-dollars-in-fines/
See that's the problem, fuel... the rule should be if you are a already split wood dealer then you apply for a permit to sell, part of the process is selling only wood below 25% moisture content, 20% is better but 25% is reality. I would really help with cutting down smoke emissions.I have a neighbor that has an outside wood boiler and doesn't have "dry wood religion

I don't feel comfortable telling someone what they can and cant do in there own homes.
I really don't see a problem with this at all. There are currently wood burning stoves on the market that can go as low as .5 grams for emissions. I have a neighbor that has an outside wood boiler and doesn't have "dry wood religion" he gets his wood dropped off around august and burns it that winter. On a cold, damp, fall morning it looks like a fog has rolled in off the ocean when that thing runs. I guess common courtesy isn't all that common. You get a couple people like this and it's what everyone thinks of when you say you heat with wood.
Dunno guys, 2.5g/hr is pretty stringent.
As far as using smoke dragons, I personally like newer stoves and I don't feel comfortable telling someone what they can and cant do in there own homes.
"Starting October 18, 2018, the city will extend the ban to all devices that emit more than 2.5 grams of fine particles an hour. Any fireplace, furnace or stove that does not meet that standard will be banned, and there is no grandfather clause."

I agree here Kenny and MTN burn Main reason I swapped my stove out its just the right thing to do.I agree with this statement fully in most instances. However, when it comes to smoke dragons and wood burning in general...we must never forget that when we burn wood/coal/etc. the resulting smoke/particulates/etc. >ALL< end up outside of our home and can easily affect others.
If the smoke stayed inside your house...yeah...folks would be bigly out of line telling you what to do.
Happy burning, all......
Unfortunately there's a lot of lower income people who can't afford to upgrade and who will go cold other wise. So there's a problem you don't see.
people who are truly that destitute i'm sure can get some form of public assistance. the rest of the "poor" just might have to go a few months without cable and internet to come up with the funds. https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2013-08/documents/certifiedwood.pdf is the list with emissions. Englander has a few models on there that meet or exceed the requirement and we can all agree that they are a decent affordable stove.
Stove sales will increase everywhere then this subject will go away. Remember the leaded unleaded gas days. Moving some of my stock to stove sales
......The police are going to force me to wear pants in public now in the winter? OUTRAGE I say . . . an outrage. If I want to go to my woodshed or mailbox in my boxer shorts or long johns I say I should have every right to do so.
My neighbor may not agree with my opinion though . . .
Lady: Officer, my neighbor goes out to his woodshed in just his underwear.
Officer (looking out window): Lady, your neighbor's house is a half mile away - you can't even see what he's wearing from here!
Lady: You can with these binoculars!
