I have a lopi foxfire pellet stove that i bought new in 1996 It has worked flawlessly since then and am very pleased with it. I know that lopi dosen't recomend burning corn, but was wondering if anyone has tried corn and if so what we're the results? Can it ruin my stove or plug up the ventpipe? some stoves can burn a 50/50 mix of corn & pellets , i wonder if that would work. Thanks for any info anyone can give me---------Pauhou
 
If one was to do such a thing make damn sure it's good dry corn. Too much moisture content and your pipe will go downhill quickly.
