Manton looks to ban outdoor wood furnaces, boilers

Yes its a time when things has to change. Cares that burn oil and smoke and do not meet the emmissions anr now put off the road. Gust because oil is expensive we can not allow the growth of unregulated Wood out door boilers. I have talked to several manufactures and have found the largest one. Its the Wood Dcotor in Truro Nova Scotia . I talked to their dealers and was told they are the largers producer. There is a converter available but it only functions for about 12 months before its pluged up and smokes again, just like a catalitic on a car.I just finished checking out their web site at www.wooddoctor.com and they have a special on. Since they are made in Canada and the canadian dollar is high it must have hurt sales. Really its time to ban these machines and burn natural gas. People burn everything in these units once they get , used pallots etc. which are laced with spilled chemicals from all over the world. And then we suck it in. Insurance companys now exclude some damage done by out door boilers.its time to stop this smoke infection and contact this company and tell them we mean business.the owner is listed as Arthur Turple as posted in farm supply info.

Idiot moron!

Who are you to regulate and decide how other people stay warm. And where did you learn grammer and how to spell.

You're going no where with your nonsense fool!

Stove stokes smouldering rift between neighbouring families -ON
March 25, 2008 PAUL WALDIE From Tuesday's Globe and Mail
For years the Scotts and Pikes were friendly neighbours, frequently helping each other out at their homes near Uxbridge, Ont.
But that all ended two years ago when the Pikes spent $13,400 on an outdoor wood-fired boiler to heat their home and garage.

Heated lawsuit over stove's wood smoke -ON
Published: March 25, 2008 at 11:23 AM
UXBRIDGE, Ontario, March 25 (UPI)-- A southern Ontario family has been ordered to disconnect an outdoor wood-fired boiler in a legal fight with neighbors over the smell, a judge ruled.
The spat between the two families in rural Uxbridge, northeast of Toronto, began two years ago when Iain Pike spent $13,400 on the device, which he told the Globe and Mail newspaper lowered his home and garage heating bills by two-thirds.
Neighbor Robert Scott complained the smoke was causing him and his family health problems and he sued for $200,000 in damages.
Pike argued unsuccessfully in court that neighbors on the other side didn't smell smoke and said they even paid to be hooked up to the water heating system for their home, the report said.
In ordering the boiler shutdown, Justice Fred Graham of the Ontario Superior Court cited medical concerns under review in Canada and the United States.
Figures for Canada aren't available, but the newspaper said the number of boilers sold in the United States jumped from 195 in 1990 to 67,546 in 2005, the latest year of statistics available. http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2008/03...

Wood stoves needn't pollute
Wednesday Febuary 6, 2008
Re: Air Pollution linked to heart problems - Jan. 29.
I read with interest the article on how air pollution can contribute to heart and respiratory disease.
You identify wood-burning stoves as contributing 28 per cent of the fine particulate matter pollution in Canada's air. Your readers may be interested to know that these emissions can be reduced by up to 90 per cent with a new-technology appliance that meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
High efficiency gas fireplaces and advanced burning woodstoves are a cost effective and sensible way for Canadians to heat their homes.
Manufacturers have worked hard to develop better, more efficient and cleaner technology and have provided consumers with a variety of important improvements to style.
An advanced EPA wood burning fireplace, insert and stove requires one third less wood to burn but produces the same amount of heat as an older, less efficient stove.
Older stoves can release upwards of 40 to 80 grams of smoke an hour, while new certified models produce from less than one gram up to seven grams an hour.
A reduction in smoke means less build-up within the chimney and a safer fire, with fewer pollutants and a better quality of air for the home and outdoors!
Those in the market to replace their old conventional fireplaces and woodstoves or who are considering buying a new woodstove should consider the federal government's ecoENERGY retrofit rebate. Find out more about it at www.www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca .
