If hamsav is on a rural property > 2 hectares he doesn't need a clean burning fire so there's no issue there.

Generally people complain about councils being too officious, not when they're permissive.

Reading Southland council website they do require a permit to install a woodburning heater.
And it's very hard to get a concent to install a used wood burner as it needs to be recertified

cause they can lay blame of old stuff on someone else...wasnt me.....someone else mustve said it was ok.....

Do you mean as a mould or in the furnace? Ok in a mould but won't last in the furnace. Even green sand only lasts one pour before it needs new bentonite clay, coal dust and water added along with a good mix.
Good on you for having a go.
Watching a 65t tap at Glenbrock Steel is an impressive sight.

If you want foundry consumables locally call METCAST and ask for Gordon, he will be able to help. Not a spectator I work there now.
