just got back from a road trip

[stoveguy2esw]

hey guys,
just returned from a tour of several states north of my Va home, saw some interesting things, im assuming these areas do not have inspectors of my buddy ELK's caliber, if they have them at all

delaware: a home which apparantly had a chimney fire recently. seems his woodstove burned his garage down to the ground, was kinda funny in retrospect , stove was still sitting there on the garage floor , pipe laying around, charred stubs of studs sticking up around it, i didnt see any multiwalled pipe, looked like singlewall was all he had it vented with. no idea what the real story was and i didnt stop by, just saw it and slowed down to take it in.

pennsylvania: easton area, house with a pellet vent sticking out a window through a board, just plain stupid

maryland: stove pipe sticking out of window and elbowed up , in a mobile home, couldnt have been more than 8 ft of stack inside and out total , barely cleared the roofline. top foot or so was sooted black, i hate to think how it burned

new york: near binghamton 2 story home with single story addition , brick chimney clearing the peak of single story roof by about 2 ft, with probably 4 to 6 foot of singlewall stacked on top of it , poor design of chimney , and/or poor decision on locvation of flue, should have run it up next to the 2 story and cleared the higher roofline.


Education is key, apparantly these folks did not post their questions on hearth.com before they got started,

Mike the week away one of our members Nick stumbled on an anti smoke site. including banning of wood/ .pellet stoves
I knew of their existance but did not judge their influence and organizational size. Unfortunately they pose a real threat to our way of life and your employment
Member here had a jolly time poking holes in their arguements but the more linkks found the bigger the anit smoke following is.
no real battles V cat vs non cat they ended till the next time one brings them up the problem plagueing the Ever burn stoves turned out to be air leakage caused bt the ash door
hinges. PM or I call you I need you help aslo go a page or two back to catch up on the next donor install check out the press release post any ideas are welcome

That's a big GOTCHA. Spewed fine Canadian and regular old tap water over the LT screen. Took a whole paper towel to damp it down.
