The EPA can go blow a goat as far as I am concerned. I might also point out that such rules would only apply to new manufacture and with out enforcement would not amount to anything.Not the smartest thing to do there bwalker. The only reason the EPA has not got a hold of outdoor wood boilers YET is because its not inside of a building. All wood burning appliances with in a building are subject to epa standards of emissions. Again there not going to ban inside wood stoves because they meet EPA guide lines. EPA phase I and EPA phase II . The average outdoor wood boiler puts off 80.0 grams per hours of emissions (SMOKE), in order to put a outdoor wood boiler inside of a building it would have to meet stage II (phase II ) EPA laws of 6.0 grams per hour of emissions. ( yes thats 6.0 GPH not 60 GPH ) Most modern indoor wood stoves already exceed the EPA's 6.0 GPH ( like mine of 3.5 GPH ) So save your $$ from putting up a building for your OWB. Just trying to help ya out brother.
There are wood stoves in garages too and is not allowed buy code .......... The EPA is not going to go after 50 OWB. My point is its a waist of time to do so. Most are in a barn/garage and such so you dont have to stand out in the cold to reload / clean and maintain. Thats what i was going to do before i got educated about outdoor wood boilers and went with a higher efficient stove.bwalker said:The EPA can go blow a goat as far as I am concerned.

Woodboilers are already inside buildings and the EPA isnt doing anything about it.
thats all depends on where you live as zoning is a twp and city issue, not a national one. It is not against code to have a wood stove in your garage in my twp.There are wood stoves in garages too and is not allowed buy code ..........

My and your kids ,thats who!
Rspike said:I post the information for everyone to read for them selves. MS-310 already knows. It lets others decide before putting BIG $$'s down. When you buy in indoor wood stove just like most appliances show reports and such and the efficiency of the item. outdoor wood boilers dont have such reports so states are doing the testing. Well there they are.........."the test results". I have asked many time all over the Internet for efficiency reports of OWB. I have called many OWB dealers asking for efficiency measurements and out put emissions and not one would give me any answers. WHY ? Because it wouldn't be wise to advertise there own product as 34% efficient and puts off 80 gph of emissions.
NFPA? Who the heck is that?Yeah , O.K. Ben.
NFPA 211
