They've started that here too although I've never heard of anyone getting busted. Really PO's me though as it's the coldest days of the year when they put on the burn ban. And I'm getting tired of processing firewood every year but the gas company want's $17K just to bring the line 400 feet and that doesn't count to the house and add a fireplace or stove and installation. You'd think to encourage clean air it'd be a lot cheaper to convert to gas.
