"I have been buying wood ash by the ton since 2006".

I hadn't thought about it until you stated that, but I wonder for how long before the EPA starts sending out "...cease and..." warnings. My job takes me into power plants frequently. Was in two of them today. These power plants are coal fired, so they generate fly ash. They used to sell off their fly ash to concrete companies that used to add it as harder for concrete until the EPA stepped in a year or so ago and told them no more. Trust me, fly ash is a hardener. I had to fish about a 10' section 1" conduit that had filled up with a mixture of fly ash, pigeon crap, and moisture over years. Took me all day. Like concrete. Anyway, since the EPA says no to flyash now, now the power plants have to pay people to haul it off as toxic waste. I wonder how long before wood ash from fire places and everywhere else is deemed to be...toxic waste by the EPA.

Hey, unrelated but related, was a story in my local paper just today about our local health department sending notices to a church and another local institution that held a bazaar to benefit the poor, that they were in violation for allowing "homemade" items such as peanut brittle, cakes, and pastries to be sold because they didn't have their stamp of approval. So back to my point, how long before the EPA weighs in negatively on...wood ash? The glue on the back of stamps? Where you can pile your shoveled snow?
