Interesting. Based off our knowledge and experience it’s probably the best way for them to handle this.

Might explain how one of your competitors mysteriously seems to have "passed"...again.

Hopefully the national media don't have a field day with this.

Be really easy to paint the entire wood heat industry in a bad light...

It'll be interesting seeing this move along. So far I haven't seen the EPA get engaged to any significant degree. Maybe that's changing.
It's a complex thing and some media reports can be pretty inaccurate, it can take a good bit of digging to understand.

"In light of the shortcomings of this test approach, EPA is embarking on a several year process to develop new test methods, including a new method for forced air furnace certification that includes a cold start, cycling of the unit during the testing and conducting a re-loading of fuel during the test run. "

So does this mean manufacturers are going to have go through the certification process again? Good way to kill of a few more of the limited choices out there :-(

I'm wondering where this is going too. I'm all for better testing but it all costs money. Maybe they can throw some more stimulus money at it.

I think there will be incentives, rebates, and subsidies for any alternatives to fossil fuels.
