I doubt he would have a problem with a gassifier like a TARM/GARN/Woodgun/etc. Usually the localities that have ordinances go after the EPA exempt outdoor boilers that smoke up the neighborhood. you cant even tell when a gassifier is running from outside as Im sure you know from experience :)

I think the bigger concern would be getting a good wood supply at a reasonable price in an urban area - urban dealers are usually ripoff artists and there are few scrounge opportunities.. Might need to get a splitter and look into buying grapple loads of logs.

Man Id love to go off grid too but hate the thought of solar panels on an old house roof... wish I had the land to put them off someplace in the back 40.

BTW, Greg I had no idea you were a serious woodburner too. Are you a member over on hearth? I think a few of us here are....

Yes, I would like to have solar on our barn roof but I don't like the look either. I was surprised at all the solar I saw on German barns in Bavaria last spring!

Greg-
Don't know if there are any threads here on wood boilers. hearth is definitely the place to go for that stuff, its the only forum I spend more time on than OHW. Great place.

Wood is addictive isn't it. Grew up with a first generation VC Resolute and when we bought the house I inherited a 3rd generation VC Encore. VC doesn't build them like they used too sadly but I got it cleaned up nice.

I'm getting the OP off topic so I'll give him his thread back now :)
