but so is the smoke from non-certified woodstoves..

LOL! Horseshit.
Of everything stated on this thread, it is your post that is “onerous.”
- Not wood smoke for God’s sake.

turn in your non-certified firearm and non-certified computer and report to the kommisar at once.

Thank you very little for that (not so) polite response.

If you would read the article, you would see that the issue at hand is woddstove smoke, and the amount of smoke non-certified stoves produce.

If you bothered to read the article, you would see that there are 800,000 woodstoves in the Pugetopolis area. Most people ignored the voluntary efforts to try and reduce the smoke that hangs in the air during temperature inversions, so fines were authorized.

If you would read the article, you would know that those who heat exclusively with wood or have no other viable source of heat are exempt from the burn ban.

If you read the article, this guy had a violation a year ago on his home-made system, so that might have had something to do with why someone was checking to see if he was still breaking the law, and son of a gun! He was!

As I said, there are programs in place to avoid this situation, and IF YOU WOULD READ THE FRACKIN’ ARTICLE, you would likely already know that too....

Catching my drift??
