Nice little 2 page article in the latest popular mechanics discussing the latest EPA emission requirements and their continued decrease mandate over the coming years. The article goes on to discuss the 2013 Woodstove Decathlon where Woodstock got the prize for the Innovation category with their Ideal Steel. Gotta love a picture of a machinist working in a Lynyrd Skynyrd T shirt!
I'm trying to find a copy of this but difficult to find in this area as few even carry PM. I found one when looking back in October or November, when this was originally scheduled to be published but he said he only gets in 3 or 4 copies and they had all sold before I got there.
i suspect that's half the idea with the franklin. you get publicity and bragging rights by leading the industry in low effluent and it's going to translate to sales, whether the client is really interested in the franklin, or they decide to go with something more expensive. they rock.
