Saw a duel fuel stove the other day... It said it ran on pellets or
dried corn. I have never heard of a corn fired stove, any insight, any
experience out there with them? Thanks.



The stove in the cabin out by the river is a multi-fuel stove, and our
partner, who spends more time there in the winter, buys large sacks of
dried corn fuel, 50-pound sacks, I think. We talked about it a couple of
times, and I think I remember him saying the corn burned hotter but was
fussier to get and keep burning properly than pellets. I don't mess with
the stove; I just turn on the electric baseboard heater if it gets
really cold.
