They were based on work that was originally done in Oregon, who was the the first to regulate woodstove PM emissions (or, rather, establish a certification system for woodstoves based on standardized laboratory PM emissions testing). A lot of the work was done by my good friend the late Paul Tiegs from OMNI, and his colleague the late Stockton (Skip) Barnett. Skip developed the portable dilution tunnel that we (Masonry Heater Association) are still using and that most of the original clean burning stoves were developed on. A lot of work was done examining things like fueling protocols, repeatability, cribs vs cordwood, etc., and back then was funded by EPA Region 10. I recently unearthed an AWMA paper that provides some of the details:<br><a href="http://heatkit.com/research/downloads/keepers/Oregon%20s%20Woodstove%20Certification%20Program.pdf">heatkit.com/research/downloads/keepers/Oregon%20s%20Woodstove%20Certification%20Program.pdf</a> ..........Norbert<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Norbert Senf<br>Masonry Stove Builders<br>25 Brouse Road, RR 5<br>Shawville Québec J0X 2Y0<br>819.647.5092<br><a href="http://www.heatkit.com" target="_blank">www.heatkit.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
