What's The
Deal With My Old Woodstove?
8-7-2010
As of August 1, 2010 There is a new Oregon law
that requires removal of uncertified woodstoves when selling a home.
In 2009 the Oregon Legislature signed Senate Bill 102 into law which
requires the removal of uncertified woodstove from a home when it is
sold. The law is supposed to protect Oregonians from uncontrolled
wood smoke. The fear is that residential wood burning is a
significant source of air pollution, which includes fine particulate
and air toxics. As the homeowner you are required to destroy
this device.

DEQ's fact sheet.
