50 years ago, epa/government started hanging air polution controls on cars. Everyone pitched a fit then, kind of like they are doing now. It will increase the costs of cars, no one will be able to afford them. I'll just pull all the hoses off my car, remove the cadillac (catalytic) converter. The epa is stupid, they don't know what they are doing.
It may have taken 50 years, but cars today are light years ahead of the cars of the 60's. Who would have thought the cars today can get up to 50 mpg, meet epa's requiredments, and people can afford them.
30 years ago I knew a guy that had a small wood burner inside his house and a catalytic converter on the chimney. He said there was more heat coming off the converter than than the stove.
So, what happened to putting converters in wood burners?
Wood can be burned cleanly, so what's the big deal? I'll bet in 50 years, wood burners will be like cars, they will improve, things will be better.
I found it interesting to read that more poor people heat with wood. 2% heat exculsive with wood, no other heat source.
My father used wood as a supplement. I WILL NEVER HEAT WITH WOOD. I'm glad no one in my neighbor hood heats with wood and stinks up my air.
