There are four standards that stoves and fireplaces fall under: UL listing, on the other hand, is a voluntary set of standards when it comes to wood burning stoves. If a stove receives the EPA certification, it has been tested by an independent company and passes the requirement they have set. The EPA standards must be achieved for a manufacturer to be allowed to sell a new stove in the United States. It’s a more efficient process than a simple fire and a chimney! They are able to burn hotter while burning up more material and at the same time send less polluting emissions into the atmosphere. The good news is that this engineering has produced more efficient wood burning stoves. This has caused additional engineering to be spent by stove manufacturers which of course is passed on to you, the consumer. The toughest standards will take e ffect in 2020. The EPA has continued to increase the standards lowering the amount of PM that is allowed to leave the stove and enter the atmosphere. Heated air is introduced above the baffle which causes the smoke to re-burn the excess PM before it exits the stove. The non-catalytic stove uses a baffle in the stove to pass the smoke over. The catalytic stove uses a catalytic device similar to a vehicle catalytic converter to re-burn the smoke and essentially burn up the excess PM. There were two types of stoves developed to meet the standard. Both of these items also caused the price of stoves to increase. This added additional equipment and labor to the construction of all new wood burning stoves. Then, the stoves had to be tested to be certified that they have met the standard. First, stoves had to be engineered to meet the standard. It is a yearly event, but its birthday is on leap day.This caused two issues. The first RadCon happened on February 28, 29, and March 1 of 1992. The unusual numbering convention (1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 2, 2A. The name may have originated with a member of the initial concom who worked in Radiological Control, possibly at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland.
