"We need to encourage the change-out of older dirtier burning stoves, not mandate a 'super stove'. This will do more to clean up air sheds, while keeping prices within reach of average consumers."

"If we could get everyone to use the most recent technology, wood stoves would be the least of our worries when it comes to both pollution and health."

"If the industry doesn't manufacture cleaner, more reliable stoves, then consumers will abandon this industry for cleaner products that work better and don't harm their neighbors."

"If improved technology is to be developed, efforts have to be made to hold down costs. Otherwise, there is a disincentive for people to use wood and the danger exists that low income folks may be disenfranchised."

"I think the emphasis should be on shifting to the existing technology of masonry heaters! Perhaps rapid technological innovation would be well spent on bringing down the $$$ pricetag for masonry heaters, so more people could afford to switch."

"We need to try to incentivize getting not only lab tested stoves cleaner stoves to the market, but ones that reduce operator error."

"It all depends upon EPA and state air regulators and the degree to which they regulate. I think that consumers are mostly satisfied with the wood stoves that are now available."

"In the wrong hands all wood stoves can be polluting. All stoves should have a double burn and have particulate filters on their chimneys. The man who developed a cook stove that used tiny amounts of wood and no smoke has the right technology. Wood stoves should not be in urban environments where houses are close together."

"Put more emphasis on getting pre EPA appliances out of use; such as not being able to sell a home with an older appliance in it. The older appliance must be scrapped."

"EPA must make their test protocol adaptable to the way a new stove is designed to be burned."
