How do older wood stoves compare to the new "EPA Certified" models?

[QUOTE="brewmonster, post: 3247916, member: 57311"] Yeah, well, my Dad had a '67 Pontiac that he loved but that doesn't make me want to drive one. Today's cars are safer, cleaner, more efficient and more comfortable, i.e. better in every way. Likewise with stoves. I've had nice pre-EPA cast iron stoves, including two Vermont Castings models, but I wouldn't have one now. If that Defiant you're talking about is in good shape and the you are willing and able to keep the cat in good working order, I guess you'll be OK. I've known people who ran catalytic stoves and never gave the cat a moment's thought, just let it go to hell and ran the thing in stinkpot mode for years on end. Please don't do that and then justify it by citing your bizarre notions about woodsmoke emissions. [/QUOTE]
