I hate Government regulations created by the CITY idiots that are elected.
I also hate being in town right next to a wood burning SMOKE generator called a wood stove. My wife has breathing issues. We can't visit a very good friend ,that lives in town, during any cold weather. He has neighbors on both sides that have outside wood stoves with very short smoke stacks. When they first fire them it looks like a steam engine running at full power. Even inside his house you about gag on the smoke fumes. HE has tried all the legal actions he can and nothing has gotten any better. HE is thinking about suing them both for loss of property valve because of their smoke.
I burnt wood on the farm for years. Not an issue because the stove was over a mile from any other home. Also I had a full height chimney.
Switched to a corn stove 10 years ago or so. There is almost zero smoke out of the stack on it. A much cleaner burning unit.
Also a former customer has a newer outside wood stove. It has the filter/converter in the stack. He burns much less wood than the old style units. I think the converter makes it more efficient.
I don't have the answer but with todays lack of caring for your neighbor there needs to be something done to control the smoke. I know that any smoke is a health hazard. Wood smoke would be lower than some other things but it is not good long term either.
I see wood stoves getting attacked in several ways:
1) Insurance companies. If I ran one I would have a blanket ban on any inside wood stove, for coverage. They DO raise the risk of fire.
2) Neighbors are going to sue claiming health hazards. Even if the suit is not won the cost of defending from it will be a burden.
3) Many towns and counties are including wood stoves in their zoning rules. Many just about make it impossible to have a new one installed.
If your in the country and are not close to anyone then they are fine. In towns or even where there are close neighbors I see the need for common sense and courtesy but both of those are getting to be rare now.
