What's a corn pellet?

Demand For Wood Stoves High In Minn.
ST. PAUL (AP) ― The prospect of high heating bills this winter is prompting many Minnesotans to turn to wood and corn stoves to heat their homes.

At the Minnesota State Fair, Kris Borgeson stays busy at a booth selling corn stoves that burn not only corn pellets, but also wood pellets, and cherry and olive pits.

Borgeson and her husband own Haven Hearth & Home in Cambridge. She says many people are interested in both corn and wood stoves, so their business recently began to sell wood stoves and wood pellets. She says they ordered ten semi-loads of wood pellets and have already sold seven -- and it's only August.

Business owners say customers like the fact that corn and wood are renewable sources.
 
I would guess the reporter really doesn't know anything about wood pellets or corn burning.....if there IS such a thing as "corn pellets", I'd like to hear about them.
 
The corn site reported that there was only one pellet burner at this fair. No wonder he was busy!
 
You can get them the same place they sell the wood kernels
