Corn Stove Burns Renewable Resource Cleanly

There are stoves designed to operate using pellets from processed sawdust and there is also a corn stove that operates on corn pellets. Both the corn pellet and the wood pellet stoves do not require the use of a chimney; they are able to be vented to the outside through a pipe and this can be done in whatever room you desire.

There are also wall thermostats available to set up for automatic use. The temperature is set to what you want so that when the day gets warmer it will shut down. When the temperature starts falling in the evening it will start up again.

The corn stove also has glow plugs as optional igniters that will light the fire automatically when necessary. With an 85 pound hopper you will be able to run it on a normal basis for many days without having to refill it.

Corn pellet stoves do compare more favorably with the wood pellet stoves when it comes to efficiency, yet they do not emit as much heat as conventional wood burning stoves. The cost to run a corn stove versus a wood stove depends on where you live more than anything else. If you are in Maine or Massachusetts, then it may difficult to locate an economical and reliable local supplier.

Many times there is a waiting list for the consumers who wish to purchase a corn pellet stove so they are obviously gaining in popularity. In 2006, an estimated 65,000 corn pellet stoves were sold in the United States. In 2007, there were 350,000 of them being used in the US and the number of owners just keeps increasing.
