So, my next questoin is : I have a tarm Solo installed in a heated detached garage 20 ft from my property line, piped underground to my house. Tarms are indoor units but if i read the NYS regs it appears it meets the definitions of and OWB???? Is this possible? or am I missing something. THe draft legislation does not mention gassification units.... Is that just a mistake or do people in Albany not understand the processes of OWBs and indoor Gassification units to put accurate language into a draft legislation.

I would expect that it is a case of lack of knowledge on the part of the gov't types, or a lack of caring... It is entirely possible that you might be impacted, though as others have pointed out, the odds of having a regulation enforced may be a function of how cleanly you burn - if you don't cause a problem the gov't thugs might leave you alone, but don't count on it...
