Not supposed to be much warmer in NJ tonight and I'm feeling you on the lack of insulation. I'm in a 200+ year old farmhouse trying to keep things above 62 so the oil doesn't kick on. I love sitting right next to the stove and feeling a cool breeze blow across the room. Got the Ligs locked and loaded, stay warm brother!Green Supremes, and a whole lot of them will be eaten tonight to heat my poorly insulated house in NY with a wind chill of -15.
I filled the kerosene heater and its ready to give the poor little 25pdvc a boost if needed. should be ok tho.
Its the wind that really kills it with my house.
My harman says I can burn 50/50 mix, does corn burn hotter? I haven't really looked into it.
Sounds like you need to upgrade to an outdoor wood boiler.Small portions of the body I'm trying to dispose of.

I have burned a 50 / 50 mix and yes your Harman will do it. Corn does burn hotter than pellets. The ash is just different. I may load a 50 / 50 before bed tonight. If you want to just give it a try go to TSC and buy a bag of feed corn. About $8 a 50lb bag. Expensive this way but it's $8 bucks and you can see for yourself.My harman says I can burn 50/50 mix, does corn burn hotter? I haven't really looked into it.
Don't forget that you need a different vent pipe if you burn corn. And I think they are rated at the same btu's per pound.Yes corn will put out more BTU's than pellets and in my opinion it burns much cleaner. Corn is also much cheaper than pellets right now, win/win in my book!

At eight bucks a bag??? Pass!Don't forget that you need a different vent pipe if you burn corn. And I think they are rated at the same btu's per pound.
Hamer's as well. My go-to cold weather pellet. Would burn them all season if I could get a better price. $300 / ton picked up, vs $239 for Presto's, which are not bad - but not Hamer's.Hamers Hot Ones ultra premium
Absolutely! I grabbed two bags for my experiment. If you are going to burn corn it needs to be purchased in bulk. It's cheaper than pellets locally when you get a ton or more. I like keeping my options open since price jacking is so popular these days. The $8 per bag at TSC was an experimental gold plated special suggested if they would like to see what the corn mix is like. They are like grabbing a bag of pellets but 10 lbs. heavier, clean, and easily obtained.At eight bucks a bag??? Pass!

Keep arguing but................. http://extension.psu.edu/natural-re...lled-corn/heat-energy-content-of-shelled-cornUnderstoood, my stoves were setup from day one to burn corn as I have easy access to it. Most suppliers in my area only carry mufti fuel venting and stoves as those are most commonly asked for. I read in an earlier post about TSC being $8 dollars a bag for corn which is probably true, and at that cost they are making a good profit. If you can find a farmer you will buy corn for around $4 a 50# bag right now,at least here in michigan. As far as BTU's I know what it says on a bag of pellets, but I will argue all day long that corn will give you far more.
