the stuff that had was bigger pieces not ground so fine but yes ground corn cobs they use them for bedding they also use wood pellets for bedding also but they cost more then the ones for burning. I looked at those too just look like reg wood pellets. Yes my stove is a multi fuel stove. I grab a bag when i go back there post a pic of it. Even if i do not burn them I have a good stock for the bottom of the parrot cage.
