I saw on the tube last night that a town in Mass ( didn't catch the name ) banned installation of new ODW and require existing units to " burn only clean, dry wood". I've seen some spewing a lot of smoke around here.
 
heard that allot of towns are doing that.
 
The village next to me has banned them also. They are still allowed in the surrounding town.
 
Last year Battle Creek, MI banned OWB's. I live in the country and am not bothered by the ban but I couldn't help but notice the users neighbor(s) getting smoked. It made me wonder if that would be a problem. I bought an EKO40 because of efficiency and the lack of smoke. They should all work that good. Cave2k
