Washington State: Can wood cook stoves be shipped here?

[madame fig]

Do any dealers/manufacturers ship wood cook stoves to WA?

[PNWest]

Most companies ship here. IF you can afford the freight.

Madame, I'd suggest checking our craigslist before you order something new. I've found quite a few good deals recently and I'm thinking of collecting a few such stoves.

No, absolutely no wood cook stoves for Washington. NO NO NO! Why would you even want a stove when you could have this Canadian stuffed porcupine thats over 40 years old.

Nice porcupine! Everyone should have one of those. My cat would love it.

I am not opposed to an antique stove. My husband restored our current heating stove. I like the old Waterfords.

I also have a question about asbestos: What span of years was it used in stoves? Or was it?

I was curious about shipping - I see some dealers online have notices about not selling/shipping to WA. I'd like to hear experiences around this.

Google "Washington wood stove emissions" for websites explaining your state's very strict rules, and a list of wood stoves certified for use. The companies you have seen saying "no shipments to Washington" can't meet the legal emissions standard there. Unfortunately, you might have a very hard time finding anything wood-fired for cooking that can be installed legally today.

I suspect that Silver Vista is correct. In Oregon, any stove must meet EPA emission standards before it can be installed. Washington state is probably the same.

Off topic, but I think that you can install a genuine antique cooking stove that doesn't meet emission standards in Oregon, but I wouldn't buy the stove without verifying that.
