Oregon has a new woodstove law that requires all wood stoves to be on an approved list provided by the Department of Environmental Quality. If the stoves are non-compliant the law requires that they be not only removed from the premises, but that they be certified destroyed to DEQ standards. We have some of the cleanest air in all 50 states and it looks like we are doing everything we can to keep it that way!
The uncertified stoves tend to burn about 70% dirtier than certified ones. Here are two examples of old stoves that are in the pipeline to be destroyed.
