Hi there,

I’m wondering if the Nordica wood cook stove meets Washington State standards, why or why not?

In reply to Tami. Hi Tami, unfortunately Washington State does not have an exemption for the Sopka Concept 2 Air Mini. Under current Washington standards, no stacked stove (with an oven below or above the firebox) meets the definition of a cookstove.

I, too, am a Washington state resident and desiring clarification as to whether or not the Sopka Concept 2 Air Mini meets the Washington state exemption for emissions regulations.

The Sopka Concept 2 Air Mini does not appear on this list of wood cookstoves provided by Obadiah’s which are exempt from Washington’s emission regulations. Is it because it does not meet the requirements for exemption, or could it qualify and be added?

Hi Camille, *edited 11/2/16* My apologies for the information I posted previously, I was mistaken about the status of the Sopka North in Washington. The Sopka North is indeed Washington State approved! You can read more about the stove here and over at Obadiah's Woodstoves. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Where does the Sopka North cookstove fit in with Washington regulations? It was recommended to me and seems to be ideal for my situation – auxiliary cooking, auxiliary heat (not essential as a primary heat source), small house, water heating capacity. I live in Washington. I don’t see it listed on any of the Washington state information or here as suitable for Washington.

Sorry Jeff, there are no EPA cookstoves yet. No one wants to spend $30K getting something tested when it is not required, does not make sense. The Cuisinier is as close as you will get to a WA compliant cookstove. It would comply but again it does not have a EPA Cert as it is not required and WA does not require a EPA Cert so no one is going to spend the money for no reason.
Here are the products on my website you asked for, they are at the bottom of the page.

I see the Heckla is missing and I am not sure why. It will be back up there in the morning.
They are also updating the website to reflect what is compliant as well.
Thanks.

Looking to get a wood cook stove in Spokane, WA. Reading through your Washington help page (which is great by the way) I was only able to find the Vermont Bakers Oven as “legal” for Washington on your website. I could not find the others you listed below. Do you still carry them? Do you have any that “Meet” Washington standards and are not just exempted?
I really like the J. A. Roby Cuisiniere Cookstove and was wondering if it would meet WA standards possibly?
