What is next? Will they send inspectors to your home to sniff your chimney? The EPA is once again out of control! Wood burners beware! Campfires verboten?

    What? A governmental entity that care less about exercising its own power than the actual welfare of the citizens that pay for its very existence? Say it ain't so! [/sarcasm]

    This maybe an economic move. sell off the old stove for scrap metal and buy a new updated one.
    That will help the economy. do you think that is what they are attempting?

    Hello Wiggy,
    Unfortunately no. In any case it would be Keynes' "broken window theory" and wouldn't work anyhow. I believe Hayek has successfully disproved this theory.

    Hello O.A.
    I would be interested in their solution as to ways to provide heat at no cost to those whom rely upon wood as a means to heat their homes.
    Oh my, bet they do not have an answer for that one.
    Best,

    Greetings Thoritsu,

    I believe we have had just about enough of these un-American agencies, don't you?

    Another problem with an executive branch organization that legislates.

    Each time the EPA issues another reg, I am reminded of how anti-American they must be. Then I go out to do my day and see all the large SUVs and high end cars with "greenie" stickers on them. That's when I have to pull over and wipe the tears, from laughing so hard, from eyes so I can continue driving. What a bunch of hypocrites.

    Hello ShruginArgentina.
    Yes. Belize is in Central america. Its Official language is English. It is sparsely populated and has a low cost of living. I'm sure there are some drawbacks... I have no idea what their gun laws are or their crime issues...

    Indeed, who is John Galt.

    You will be required to disable the fireplace. I'm guessing that there are also building codes (appropriate to the local climate) that would require heat - so you'd be forced to install a heating system.

    If you wanted to sell the property but didn't want to expend the funds to accomplish this, you would likely need to totally destroy the property.

    Hello straightlinelogic,
    The good old days... :) Perhaps the lesson could be learned by a little exposure in the north country without any heat.

    By the way, I have ordered The Golden Pinnacle. It is on its way!

    Hello iroseland,
    I have radiant heat in my floors. It is fantastic. A few years ago I purchased a high efficiency natural gas boiler. This year it has paid off. Still, I have a nice freestanding wood burning stove and there is nothing like the warmth, smell, sight and sound of some oak logs burning away...
    Regards,

    Then if you own a cabin in the woods with only a fireplace you will have to try and sell it without any heat? Great... :( What if there are no utilities available? This has got to stop.

    They are doing their best to make criminals of all of us... all the easier to justify the roundup.

    I'd never even consider a move to Belize...

    That's where the most evil villain in all of literature was from...
