Hello

I'm in talks with an OWB company to sell their brand in Pennsylvania.  I started to look @ regulation by the state.  OWB's have to be a phase 2 burner to be sold, which are (HE) high eff. burners. 

My question is does burners that burn coal and wood still have to fall into the phase 1 / phase 2 category?   

If this question is a repeat of anther topic, I apologize.  If you have any links to help me out on regulations or starting a OWB business, I'd greatly appropriate it!

They have plugged that loophole of folks simply sayin, "oh these are coal furnaces".

Currently all stoves being sold in Pennsylvania have to be EPA phase 2 qualified or produce over 350kbtu, which they would then consider it a non residential boiler. 

From what I'm gathering EPA phase 2 will be replaced soon by the next phase in there wood burning assault.

Thanks Scott

I was wondering about the coal stove "loophole."  I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row before selling them!  I'll have to check on the phase and what BTU output they produce. 

Thanks for the info!!

Scott Where do you find documentation about PA saying it is ok for dealers to sell furnaces generating 350 btu plus?

[Scott7m]

Maybe they closed that loophole as well, I knew indiana still had that loop hole available

but pa possibly changed that

Last I knew In New Hampshire there is no regulation on coal Owb's, according to my Aqua-Therm dealer.. I don't get it.. Such a loop hole.. Coal burns dirtier

[DaveWertz]

What brand will you be selling?

[ST98]

It's in the DEP definitions of an outdoor wood boiler.

(B). Has a rated thermal output of less than 350,000 BTU per hour.
