If so let me know how it burns? Is it more efficient or hotter to burn than pellets? What mods, if any, were needed to the stove?
Anyone burning corn in an Avalon Astoria?

I don't burn any corn in mine because it's just as expensive as pellets, and has fewer btu's per pound. Buy if you want to, and don't have a newer stove, you can modify the burn pot so it's the same as the new multi-fuel one they came out with a few years ago. You can run a max of 50/50 corn & pellets.
Not sure if the vent pipes have to be upgraded...corn is pretty corrosive, and you have to clean out the big "clinker" that corn forms every day.

I had full intentions of trying it in my new Astoria until I found out it was $8+/bag at the nearby feed store..
