Any biomass material that can be fed up the auger and that will burn can likely be used.
Nut shells, Corn, Olive pits. straw pellets, junk mail pellets, cardboard pellets, leaf pellets, grass pellets.
Just about anything that will burn that you can coax up the auger and into the firepot will work.
Just takes a little tweeking at times on the draft and auger times to get thing into the sweet spot.
Try some and see how it works, let us know

I hope it would be used and dried brewer's grain, not the unused stuff. Unused, even at wholesale prices, its still about twice as much per pound versus pellets. Its far more valuable in a mash than a stove!

Snowy River, You'll appreciate this.....the Wife left a giant bowl of pistachio shells next to the stove. I through them in the stove this morning. Seemed to burn pretty good but it wasn't a large amount. If only I could get mass quanities at a cheap price I could do a good test.
Where is it you get your hazlenut shells?

Thats too bad that you did not have more shells to try.
I am in a particularly good position being in the dump truck business. I drive the big rig over to a local Hazelnut processing plant and get aabout 5-6 thousand pounds in the back of the truck and bring it home.
The location is less than 30 minutes round trip from the house and that includes the weigh-in, loading, weigh-out and paying in the office.
Once I get the load home, I back the rig up to the patio, raise the dump bed and fill my storage drums using the small "Ditch gate" on the back of the truck's regular tail gate.
Locally there are no less than 4 processing plants within 30 minutes drive of me.
I live about 15 minutes from the town of Newberg Oregon. (30 miles south of Portland)
Right in the heart of Hazelnut country. (Big grape/wine area too)
One of my ambitions is to get a small personal pellet mill and make out own pellets from waste materials like junk mail, grass, leaves and other materials that we now have to either pay to get rid of or burn outside on the burn pile.
