Would be great if he had the means to fight the arbitrary 3 cord limit. To shut down people who use illogical decisions to stand on their soapbox as on this website...

Re: How much wood can a wood stove burn?

This may be one way to control city burning: limit the amount of (kiln-dried) firewood which
the city-dweller can own at one time, to whatever amount is used for a three hour fireplace.
(about the amount seen in the small department store bundles for sale) At least this would
limit the amount of burning, because the burner isn't going to drive to the store every day to
buy a new bundle of wood to burn.
For those who would balk at a law which limits the amount of firewood city-burner can possess,
consider that you are limited in a lot of things: the amount of alcohol you can ferment (wine
and beer, you cannot distill spirits without a license) You are limited on certain prescription
drugs (with narcotic content) You are limited on guns (cannot own a silencer, automatic,
or a cannon) You are limited to a certain speed limit on the road and must wear a seat belt.
Limits are everywhere. They are reasonable to have.
My town has a "firewood" law which regulates where woodpiles can be stacked, height, etc.
A simple amendment to this already-existing law would suffice. As this town has grown from
rural (in the 1950s when the law was written,) it can be rewritten to accommodate a fastly-
growing population, needing some protection from second hand smoke poisonings.
That's a start.
