Customers at Northwood Power Equipment are hoping to get their outdoor wood heaters delivered before a new state law bans the selling of some models starting Jan. 1.
"I don't think we're going to be taking orders anymore," said store manager Rick Devoid. "We're getting close to the deadline. Right now, it's a November-December delivery date."
A state law passed in July set the Jan. 1 ban for selling outdoor wood-fired hydronic boilers that don't meet federal air pollution standards.

So instead of efficient stoves with secondary burning and catalytic converters, we will have to build stoves from 50 gallon drums. Then they will come look for chimneys so we will remove our safe chimneys. They will ban chain saws except for licensed arborists, put tracking devices on wooden pallets, etc. I don’t know how they will track the deadfall and handsaws.
Yes, they want us to use Arab oil to pollute the air so the money can go to building more mosques and madrassas in the U.S.
To the flaming Maoists masquerading as “environmentalists”, the violence and destruction promoted by Islamic lunatics is essential to stripping our civilization to bare metal so they can build it in the Maoist image from the bottom up.
Right out of Mao’s book, “The Thoughts of Chairman Mao”, which wis the bible for SDS, Weathermen, Weather Underground, and Symbionese Liberation Army.
The agents used to dissolve the culture will then be themselves liquidated when they are no longer needed. They will just be in the way.
Stalin called these agents of civil destruction, “Useful Idiots”.
...we have a wood fired furnace with a oil burner add on...if I’m gone, the oil burner kicks in...we’re not entirely free of oil costs but can reduce it substancially by burning wood....we can only do this because we own a 24 acre mountain hollow....if I had to buy wood I would seriously question the cost effectiveness.
...one thing I forgot to mention....our unit is in the basement and has it’s own 2.5 story chimney which draws strong...one big advantage of the outdoor units is no danger of a chimney fire threatening your house....the disadvantage is you have to trudge out there in the cold to tend your fire...and if you don’t tend your fire right they’ll produce more smoke....I wouldn’t want to live in suburbia amongst a bunch of outdoor units.
no, is it nasty? It is still better than a forest fire.
I’ve got a welder, and all the steel I need to make my own, epa regulations be damned. I’m pretty sure we granite staters will be able to get around these foolish regulations. The only people that will be affected are the massholes that move here to get away from the tax-confiscatory mess they created in taxachusetts. Most indigenous granite staters simply laugh about there being wood stove regulations. Come November, the idiots that pushed through this legislation will not be lauhing, however, you can be assured that we won’t tolerate their attempt to regulate us. NH is one of the last bastions of freedom in the country.....we are the only state not required to use seat belts (unless you’re under 18). The overnement threatened to take away our highway money, if we didn’t pass seatbelt laws, so we told emm to shoe it. We simply raised the tolls on the federal interstate that ran through NH, and more than made up for their federal highway money. Live free or die, isn’t just a catchy phrase up here. No sales tax, or state income tax either.....
It will only remain that way if you start denying entry to the Massholes and other undesirables moving in...

Ever observed one of these things in operation? Yes, I have. Several neighbors, including my brother, run ‘em. My own household heat comes from a woodstove with plenum and ducting added over it, which makes it into a rudimentary forced-air furnace. Have you questions about wood heat?
We have a Lopi stove and three or four years worth of wood mostly split and stacked. With about ten acres of oak, we have wood to burn.
Wood burning is one of the solutions to the energy problems. It’s reasonably priced, provides exceptional heat, and renewable.
It warms you twice.
It warms me 3 times, the third being when I pay for some home heating oil that I "mix" into my total heating strategy......I get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing how much money I am saving from the alterative of heating 100% with oil.
