Here in Rural NY, outside boilers have been very popular for residential, farm, and light commercial heating. A little over a year ago the state Department of Enviromental Conservation (DEC) announced that there would be a ban on the use of OWBs, if they didn't meet strict polution requirements simular to pellet stoves. It ment that if you had one , you could no longer use it. This needless to say caused an uproar. DEC backed off a bit and held some hearings, however 3 days before Christmas 2010, and a week before a new govenor was to be sworn in, the outgoing head of the DEC crammed new regulations down our throats. It states that for the time being, no new OWBs can be sold after April 15, 2011 that don't meet DEC polution standards. Also the OWBs will have to be installed in compliance with new setbacks, (property lines, buildings etc.). They will all be required to have a minimum stack heigth of 18'. The DEC in a statment at the end of December said that these were temperary measures and it was their goal to ban the use of all non compliant boilers in the future. This leaves users with recently purchased equipment, and dealers with $$$$$ of inventory in a financial crises. Also manufactures are having to scramble to meet compliance with new models, and who is going to certify compliance? This act will also increasing our dependance on non renewable fuels. Fortunately we have a new commisioner in charge of the DEC, and hopefully he will have his head tilted down further than the former commisioner.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
