Burning during a ban is allowed only for households that have already applied for and been granted the agency's exemption for homes lacking any other adequate heat source. High heating cost alone does not qualify, a furnace awaiting repair does not automatically qualify, and the wood stove involved must be a certified model. 'Adequate' is defined as able to keep every inhabited room at 70°F, measured three feet up from the floor.
