In the current issue of Alternative Energy Retailer (an industry trade publication) the following quotation appears:
"It can actually be dangerous to burn corn in an appliance dedicated to wood pellets. Mixing corn & wood pellets in a unit designed strictly for wood pellets becomes an issue, as the corn will seperate from the wood pellets and then you will be feeding seperate fuels. This can plug or burn out heat exchangers and cause damage to the unit and the home." --Mike Haefner, President, American Energy Systems (AES).
American Energy Systems makes the Countryside corn stove.
I am doing my very best to refrain from making any comment on this. I'm sure others will not be reluctant to state their minds.
