The Gun Counter

Apparently this happened in October but its the first I heard of it. Reportedly a significant reduction in particulate emissions allowed that 80% of stoves currently in production cannot meet: Offthegridnews article. In addition used stoves may be banned from resale or trade-in unless they are scrapped or otehrwise rendered inoperable.

I did find this post from Chris when I searched for any earlier threads...

The wood burning issue here is a major one , the State and Feds are very arrogant and insistent about establishing an arbitrary air standard ( no significant research to back up claims) folks here are pretty serious about resisting it ( read the Troupers and local LEOs don't want any thing to do with it ) . So in response I usually have a couple big bonfires each winter and invite all the enviro wienies I know , great fun , shoot off fire works and drink wine , in celebration of well being a typical Fairbanks tell the .gov to shove it guy .

Does this affect the "barrel stoves?" I just saw someone build and install one, I hope he won't have Stove Nazis kicking in his door.

Notably, there is also no regulation that prevents a company selling antique-style cast iron coffee tables, and another company selling old-style stove piping that can convert a coffee table into a functional stove.

Not that anyone interested in guns would know anything about that kind of thinking...
