 Re: We are a go!
Just received a reply from the regional office of the PA Dept of AG (it's Presidents Day, I thought government offices were closed today). It reads as follows:
The Pa Dept Of Agriculture’s regulations don’t have any restrictions as to the wood fired oven, however, you should check with the local building code enforcement to see if there’s anything prohibiting such an oven!
Local building code has limitations for indoor fireplaces and the such, but only in that they have specific flue specs for the pipe and exit materials.
This is getting scary, as the barriers to construction fall out of the way. From my research on this forum, it's the insulation that is the expensive part. I'll make it a priority that we don't skimp there. |
