For many years, those of us in the Arctic have been fighting the wood stove ban. The use of PM2.5 particulates has been an issue pursued by local agencies as a way to swipe at those who choose to live beyond the borders of traditional civilization. That attack has now extended to the rest of the United States.
In a stunning move, the Environmental Protection Agency decided to ban most of the operational wood stoves in the U.S.
In those places where there is you, God, and nature, the wood stove has represented that one thing that can sustain. Going after local PM2.5 particulates has been one of many methods to attack those who choose to live independent of government. As Off Grid and American Prepper survival report reveals:
The EPA’s new environmental regulations reduce the amount of airborne fine-particle matter from 15 micrograms to 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air.
This means that most wood burning stoves would now fall into a class that would deemed unacceptable under these new draconian measures. The EPA has even launched a nifty new website called Burn Wise to try to sway public opinion.
On their site, while trying to convince people to get rid of their old stoves and buy the new EPA-certified stoves, they state that these older stove must be scrapped and cannot be resold.

They can have my wood burning stove when they can pry my cold, dead fingers, from it!!!
After I expend all my ammunition into the idiots who want to take mine away...
What an absolute waste of time and atmosphere these cretins occupy these days...
Boehner needs to restore funding one agency at a time. Leave out the NLRB, the EPA, the CPSC, and all the newest Obama agencies.
Just never fund them. Let the Dems come back and prove what they do for America.
I’m designing a stove that creates heat from burning bureaucrat’s bodies. There is a good supply of them.
oooh, just the thought of setting democrats on fire makes me feel warm inside too.
“After I expend all my ammunition into the idiots who want to take mine away...”
They are not coming to take any stoves. They are not banning wood stoves. No stove will be confiscated.
Washington was president of the constitutional convention that, when adopted, ended tariffs enacted by the states that interfered with interstate trade.
The US Consititution established what was, at that time, the largest free trade zone in the world.
Regulations, made by bureaucrats, have the force of law, sadly.
Unbelievable!!!
King Obama has the Senate in the bag, rendring the Congress impotent, so he is the de-facto dictator.
So now instead of using a renewable fuel, wood, people will be forced to burn eeeeeeevil fossil fuels to keep warm.
Try to ban Glory Holes and buttless leather chaps and watch the democrats go crazy!
hey now I just may want a wood stove for those 2 or 3 days a year it gets down to freezing here in Tampa
If free trade represents freedom why is it pushed by so many big government, one world govt people?
Because it is good business.
Isolationism kills business
Business makes the world go round
Geeze.
I guess if you don’t comply they’ll send a SWAT team in an MRAP and shoot your dogs.
Simplistic view.
Free trade means multi-national corporations can further manipulate governments and the markets to the detriment of small business and citizens.
It is nothing more then wealth redistribution. If its so good for business why are American companies and Americans doing so much worse?
Bozo, I am taking about trade with foreign nations. Nobody here is against free trade between the 50 US states.
If that’s the case, what is the purpose of this regulation/policy if there is no enforcement provision in it???
I know I’m not going to even give this much more thought, as it is unlikely my stove, and anyone elses, for that matter, will be threatened...
I mean if thats the way you see it, we are on the same page...No problem...I just don’t see a use for this regulation/policy if there is no way to enforce it, meaning if there is no fine, or other restrictions to punish non-compliance...
I wonder if the EPA honchos would fit in my woodstove.
