Nice try putting words in my mouth.So having EPA rated wood stoves is good? I thought NES hated EPA rated stuff and government regulation?
Catalyst stoves can achieve great burn efficiency at very low output.The research I have done means this helps make a wood stove extremely efficient. It reclaims the heat and unburnt gasses and helps make the house heat up faster.
On the down side. You can't burn plastics or glossy paper. Because the catalytic converter is expensive.
Google regency triple burn or 3 stage burn
Mine was a reburner. The dancing flames as the smoke burned was great.Catalyst stoves can achieve great burn efficiency at very low output.
My reburn tube stove hits similar efficiency at the upper end of its range but struggles to keep the tubes lit when completely damped down.
Alaska has issues with bad smog from wood burning but most of that is from wet wood and ancient, leaky stoves.

Pretty much, although I was thinking more along the lines of "naive boob". "Idiot" is a bit too far.This frequently means something like, āyou naĆÆve idiotā or something similarly unflattering. Was that your intention?
"This isnāt about efficiency or thermodynamics or CO2 emissions, itās about particulate emissions."What exactly did I write that you object to?
Canada fires canāt be regulated or shut off at a central office if your 2025 social credit score is too low or youāve posted unsanctioned thoughts online.Should we tell them about the fires in Canada?
yes, all charcoal devicesas well as the flight you took for the holiday to get there.
If there is no visible smoke where do the particulates hide?
Will they be coming for our fire pits and smokers next?
Wood stoves represent a heat source that canāt be regulated or shut off at a central office if your 2025 social credit score is too low or youāve posted unsanctioned thoughts online.
They are also most likely used by rural customers, which vote the wrong way and should be punished.
Eventually wood burning will be illegal.
Just because Iām paranoid doesnāt mean they arenāt out you get you.

There are a lot of liberal type commies on every issue, including guns on NES. If we don't push back, they take over.Nice try putting words in my mouth.
ETA: NES is not a monolith. We have commies that post there.
EPA is much too complicated to discuss on this medium. I really can't be bothered to post more than a few sentences at once.
I said it in another thread, we need to start a hobbyist group that follows local bureaucrat pols around in public with parabolic mics and scrutinize all aspects of their public lives. We become their Big Brother.These politicians should be wearing body cams 24/7 and 25 years in prison for turning them off.

I think it would be kind to describe the above as naive.
99% should be wearing a noose. Actually, more like 99.5%.These politicians should be wearing body cams 24/7 and 25 years in prison for turning them off.
Yeah, the feds will go to every remote village in Alaska and remove their only source of heat in the middle of winter (which is pretty much 10 months a year depending on location).It's literally right in the article that it's about particulate emissions. Efficiency isn't mentioned anywhere.
I get that it's cool and all to think everything is a conspiracy to control every aspect of everything anyone does; and sometimes it is a deliberate conspiracy (e.g.: gun laws like the current MA abomination), but this doesn't meet that standard. I don't usually think of Alaska as being a "live under the thumb of the state" kind of place, yet they signed on to this. And in this case, the states are suing because the EPA isn't doing their job.
It's for sales of new stoves. SO FAR they have not proposed ripping out anyone's old stove.Yeah, the feds will go to every remote village in Alaska and remove their only source of heat in the middle of winter (which is pretty much 10 months a year depending on location).
I donāt think so, commie.
What kind of American in their right mind would even try to enforce this?!
Thank god for āroll your ownā wood stove designs.It's for sales of new stoves. SO FAR they have not proposed ripping out anyone's old stove.

Hopefully the conservatives are Stopping them from "Doing their job". The EPA is totally out of control and staffed by 90% Democrats.It's literally right in the article that it's about particulate emissions. Efficiency isn't mentioned anywhere.

Statue Of Liberty is fitting.ā¦ but the Lincoln memorial would make for a fitting back drop.
Iāll allow it!Statue Of Liberty is fitting.
They just can't leave us alone. They want to control us 100%. Nothing less will do.
Whatever happened about that whole "Separation of Church and State" thing?They want to put catalytic converters on wood stoves
I HATE my pellet stove. It sucks donkey Dick. With any luck Iāll have it replaced with a new wood stove by winter.My pellet stove is something like 86% or 87% efficient. When it's burning there's only a brief puff of smoke when the stove starts a new burn cycle. Once it's going there's nothing to see. There's no smoke going out of the chimney, What does these people actually think? That they can force someone legally to violate the laws of thermodynamics with a judges order?
As a person who's never used a pellet stove, what do you hate about it?I HATE my pellet stove. It sucks donkey Dick. With any luck Iāll have it replaced with a new wood stove by winter.
