Sittin here with my couch dog drinkin bourbon snow cones, candles goin, waitin on the power to come back on. Still on the county line, Hoss? I'm with you on the bourbon, tho mines over the rocks and not shaved. As far as "burn days" and fireplaces, our house was built in '62. I HAVE noticed that our bedrooms are colder if we start a fire in the evening. Something to do with outside combustion air not considered in the original house plan, so we pick our days to light it off and open the damper. Christmas we had a doozy and have not fired one since.

I burn juniper exclusively and it pops like a mother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Island junkie Report post Posted January 8 8 hours ago, Edge said: No burn days and no fireplaces or wood burning stoves have been permitted last 25 years Yeah I grew up there. Last house we built there in 2000 it broke my heart to put in one of those propane inserts that we never used! So we built an outdoor wood burning fireplace!

Never heard of anyone I know getting a ticket or anything…. Not even sure how it’s enforced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think ‘cold rooms’ are pretty common with almost fireplaces/stoves. Simply a matter of the chimney drawing to evacuate the smoke. The displaced air in the house has to be filled-in somehow, so often this done via pulling outside air in through any crack available. To your point, the design of the home (whether to consider a specific way to bring-in the displaced air or not) has a great impact on it. 👍🏻😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the tax revenue make the pollution ok. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could probably crack your furnace door just a bit if it's in your house. It should have combustion air. Also could run the blower to keep the air circulated.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years... The county enforces the rule, there's a hotline for Karen's to report their neighbors. And don't forget, leafblowers operated by government entities or operating OHVs in area A (wth?) not allowed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
