This weekend,it seems I need to get out to the farm,but I think I will slip into the little town with a small cafe and have bacon and eggs.But before I go there stop by the farm and stoke up the wood stove in my shack and enjoy that wonderful smoke outside as I work around out there.
It's just a wonderful smell that wood smoke
 
Enjoy as Linn Co here in IOWA they are trying to stop wood burning stoves in the rural areas cause some poor people just dont like the smell of smoke.
 
They passed some d@mned regulation right here in our rural county in Michigan a few years ago saying that the chimneys on those outdoor boilers have to be taller than the peak of the nearest house. No common sense.
 
When my kids were in 4H, and raised beef cattle, we would travel to Montana to buy a load of feeder calfs, probably around 20, and trailer them back to Calif. We would stop at different places at night to let the animals rest. Anyway I sure miss the small resturants we would stop at on the way, a lot of them would have wood stoves, and the smells of cooking food, and smoke in the air was great. It was in the fall, and starting to get real cold with some snow on the ground. What I did notice also, it seamed to be a gathering place for local farmers, and ranchers. Stan
 
Thats why I live so far back in the woods that the neighbors can't see or smell my wood burning. All the small towns around here have a ban on outdoor boilers inside the city limits, but no rursl rules yet. The problem lies with some people burning everything but wood and causing a stink.
 
The San Francisco Bay Area has the air quality mgmt board that has put the squeeze on people here. On bad air nights they ban wood burning and if your neighbor (or their inspectors) catches you there will be a nice fine in your mailbox. Boy I miss the fires on the cold still nights. And of course we don't have them once or twice a month, it is often 5-10 days a month of no burning. ERRRRRRRR.
 
Hmm, gotta love the "countryside" 2 eggs over easy, toast, 3 slices bacon, 2 oldfashioned breakfast sausage, tossed in maple syrup, crispy hashbrowns, and pancakes if you arent full yet.Gotta love them old time cafe's, all for $5.99

Wonderfull Linn Co Board of Health . Linn Co is only county in the state to require installation and operating permitts for waste oil heaters . I dol out $100 to them . Quite the revenue generaters they are . Bet wood stoves and outdoor boilers will be next . Gene ,where you located? I'm in Marion .
 
Last i heard they were still going aroun and around on the issue. Seems like someone complained and a hube hassle started. They want to ban the free standing ones that are in a self contained building then pipe heated air or heated water for hydronic heat all because someone complained about the smell of the smoke in the country we arent talking about in town this is in the country the hassle is still going on.
 
SW of IA City 15mi and i suppose they will be after my UL double walled stove i use in the shop cause if Linn county does it you know the dummies in Johnson county wont let it die here. I burn slabs from sawmills even get some from Langhofs. Good dry oak has a very pleasant smell as the neighbor says it sure smell good over at his place across the rd but depending on your neighbors things can happen.
 
Hello,

Is it just me or does rrlund find something to complain about on everything?

As to the chimney height on outdoor burners, I"m surprised they"ll draft that high. Most of them shut down and smolder especially, as the poster above noted, if they aren"t being fed well. I don"t blame the neighbors for complaining. There"s a reason those boilers have a reputation for inefficiency and air pollution.
