By the way, we are in Brebtwood, MD with a corn co-op right down the street.

I would contact the co-op and find out if they can give you some information on stoves in your area that the co-op recommends. With a co-op down the street it sounds like you can save a lot of money.

also I get residue on my walls on on the outside of my house. Any suggestions. My husband is in Iraq and I have been having lots and lots of problems trying to keep this thing running...

Help!!!

Debbie I have had the burn pot overflow and found that the holes in the bottom of the burn pot were plugged with corn ash. Shut down the stove and empty the burn pot. Then remove the ash drawer and check with a flashlight to see if the holes are plugged. They are probably full of ash you need to keep them clear, The stove should be cleaned every week so this would be part of the cleaning process . I use a small drill bit that fits the hole and push it through by hand.

Why would you want to support an economy where corn is grown just to be burnt? Wood pellets I would understand would be much better as they are often the left overs from wood mills that would otherwise throw the material away.

[CaptainCornBurner]

Corn is a renewable energy source that takes 90 days to grow. There are hundreds of products that are made from corn. This variety is only grown for these purposes and not meant for human consumption. You could google products made from corn and you may be surprised how many uses it has other than feed or food. And I will support and economy that I can buy local and american made to help my local farmers.

Nice job. I live in hamlin and I'm thinking about one. I have 15 acres of corn out there right now. The part I like is that it only take 4 months to replace you fuel supply not 4 million years. When we run out of land to grow tobacco I'll worry about it. We pay farmers billions not to grow still!

Yes boy heat with food, some humans have nothing to eat and die. Now you burn such....... go to hell !!!

[Oldbmwr100rs]

Yeah, when I read "Corn stove"I thought it was cob and waste, not the corn itself. I'm a little alarmed, but there again we pretty much grow corn and wheat everywhere these days, and they've figured out how to pretty much put corn or corn sweetener in everything, so why not burn it too? A better idea might be to burn the waste from alcohol plants when they're done with the brewing process.?

Hi, I am about to try and purchase a corn stove. What do you all think of the Buckner stoves? I have a 1090 sq ft bungalow with 9ft ceilings, one story except there is a full size unfinished attic and no basement, only a crawl space. My floor plan is fairly open except for the back room addition. I was considering the BR3. Do you think this will cut it? I need to do something fast because we got hit with a $700 power bill last month and it looks like our electric heat pump will break us.

I burn corn as well and have found that if I add 1/4 cup of crushed oyster shells (farm supply store) per 50 lbs of corn the 'biscuit' as he calls it is easier to remove.. it basically crumbles as opposed to being like 'concrete'.. I have a Quadrafire brand stove.
