Government reaching to govern wood burning consumers

[Let her rip]

Anyway back on topic, I have a good friend who is a psychotherapist who had this to say about Musk:

Never trust a man so obsessively preoccupied with impermanence that he wraps his own stupid face in clingfilm to achieve immortality and the permanent cumface of a rapist

Does anyone on here have any experience with Portage and Main outdoor wood boilers? I am looking at either one of them, or a Legend? If so, how picky are they on wood quality?

P&M is a high quality stove from what I've heard.
I don't have direct experience with them though but will add this.
Many of my friends and family all have wood boilers and all of us agree on this.
To achieve maximum efficiency and BTUs, seasoned wood is the choice, ESPECIALLY the high efficiency " EPA " stoves.
With my 12 yr old CB 5036, it has no issue keeping fire with green wood.
The problem is that the creosote build up serves as insulation on the interior walls, water jacket and this alone increases wood consumption.
Roughly 10 years ago my maintenance supervisor bought a new high flutent EPA stove and had to shut it down because of the required cleaning while burning unseasoned firewood.

I generally try to burn good seasoned wood, as it does heat much better with less maintenance. I just don't want something that WON'T burn lower quality wood. A friend had a stove, can't remember the brand, but it wouldn't burn anything that wasn't top quality worth a hoot. Stuff that will burn fine in my woodstove wouldn't burn in it.

The P&M that I looked at when I was at the Southern Farm Show last year was a really nice stove, I liked it a lot. They just don't have much of a presence around here, so I'd love to know more about them. The Legend stoves were about as close to my Dad's old school Taylor as you can get. Taylor is out of business now and not making stoves anymore, but Legend is pretty much a clone, and even made close to where the Taylor was made. I looked at Crown Royal as well, but I didn't like them as well as the Portage and Main, and they were more expensive to boot.

If only Trump had such aspirations, unfortunately he is more interested in funding big pharma and the military industrial complex with your tax dollars. Oh well tough luck

Didn't ya say you were leaving?
