Not sure if anyone came across this yet . It's almost a year old now on the article .

How do we even allow people who think like this to live in general population? Survival of the stupid .

That's why wood stoves have catylitic converters now.

EPA is also trying to ban charcoal grills and gas powered outdoor equipment.

They mention coal stoves in there as well .

I'm still baffled as to why these people have so much power .

They need to be defunded. EPA has been writing laws illegally. Congress is the only lawmaker in the US.

I'm already ahead of these EPA bastages ...

Take that EPA !

not legal to even sell a older wood stove, plus unless it has a underwriters sticker you will not be able to get homeowners insurance...

depends on where you live in and the insurance company you use. Most wont ask for any of that information nor do they require inspection. stoves that are "already" in a home prior to these regulations on UL listed stoves would be grandfathered.

so if you have a turn of the 20th century home i.e. 1900 or older and you happen to have a 1908 stove that is in the house whose to say it wasn't already there?

Don't list wood or coal heat as your main source of heat when insuring a home. some wont even insure a home if that is your main source of heat. You must list gas, electric baseboard or heatpump as main sources of heat. I have not checked on outside boilers yet.

One reason my furnace burns oil wood and coal, the "main heat" is oil and that's what's listed, even if I burn oil
