The latest and most credible info I've seen says there will no longer be a btu loophole as there is now in certain states

This commercial-sized BTU threshold is set by the individual states, not the EPA.

 If the EPA doesn't allow them it ain't happening no matter what the individual states want.

Incorrect actually.    The EPA Phase II program is voluntary.

Sloppy, go over to the general section and read up on the new epa regulations coming. You are a little behind in your knowledge.

lol, shewwww.   

Come on folks!  We don't deal with this stuff daily and not know what's going on

[yoderheating]

Hahahaha gotta love people. I almost caught myself wishing sloppy knew what he was talking about. I would kiss him if was right!

Yea I'd be right behind ya

Gassers need a good coal bed to burn cleanly. The first few hours of a new fire you do not get a good burn. I'm not sure large storage with a burn once a day will be the answer.

I've been looking at a lot of different stoves as of late and can't recall the brand but one of them suggested using charcoal to start or restart your fire, would get a bed of coals a lot faster that way.

 I guess so but I don't want to buy charcoal any more than I want to buy oil or gas or pay the electric bill.

I was thinking dollar general charcoal, maybe 2 bucks a bag. Long as you don't let it go out, shouldn't have the cost of a 12 pack in charcoal by winters end.

 I though we discussing large storage that would require restarting it every day.

I don't know

Threads jumped around quite a bit.

I was thinking more of the first start and keeping it going.

[yoderheating]

 Gottacha, yea that may work. Depends on how much gas is put off by charcoal I guess.

 Well it looks like tomorrow I will finish up my first pickup load of wood in the G100. I think I fired the furnace on Feb 24. In my old furnace I was getting as much as 10 days out of a load of wood.

Wow, that's awesome! With my current system I have good through 1.75 cords since February 24.  I can't wait until next year!
