Subject: RE: Anyone using a corn stove for home heating


so you were thinking of just using the unit as more or less an attaction, a fireplace, rather than actually heating the whole house? I still have a corn burner in my basement that is hooked up to the regular hot air propane furnace system. it is not in use with the current price of corn vs propane vs amount of work I want to do to fuel the corn burner. it has a large holding tank that can hold about 10 bushel of dry corn and had an auger system that metered the corn into firepot. could also burn wood pellets. filled the holding tank via an electric powered 4 inch auger through the exterior wall of basement. Like mentioned previously corn had to be dry and clean of cobs and stalks as did not take much to jam little metering auger. My wife did not enjoy the smell of burning corn so that was the biggest minus.
