roadeo said:Driz, you're full of great info. I found a place for corn and he sells it for burning. It's $170 a ton in barrels. Sounds good to me. I'd like to find corn at a cheaper price like $100 a ton, but this price will do fo rnow. Wood pellets are going for $289 around my neighborhood. And yes, I want my stove to be multi-talented. (corn & wood). I'm just trying to find out which one is best for my needs. I want it clean, efficient and not too expensive. I guess I'm asking for too much?

ps. Driz, where are you located?
Driz said:I am up near Burlington Vermont. just across the lake in NY. $170 for barrel or bagged corn sounds like a deal these days. I was buying feedlot corn 2 years ago for $100 and got some in Quebec early last season from a feedlot for about $93. That was it though and it was 130 - 150 the rest of the year. Grit your teeth on the price of pellets. Yesterday the price at tractor supply was still $4.98 / $239 ton for pellets.
Since everything I touch at work is top secret voodoo baloney I can' t say who or where but I just got a look at the whole sale invoiced price of some pellets this morning. It was from one of the best know and biggest brands and premium hardwood. THey were $3.59 give or take a dime 2 weeks ago. Today they were $1.79 / bag. Now of course thats invoiced truckload wholesale. Of course maby it was a mistake of some sort but I know I didn't read that invoice wrong. I find it hard to believe the price could ever drop that fast.
