I'd like to try burning some corn this year and would really appreciate some help and information. Is there any issue mixing it 50/50 with wood pellet, or is there a better ratio to use?

Some stoves don't burn corn period as the ash kernel does not lose its form and makes a ash pile fast or can make a clinker and corn has a higher ignition temp, around 200F more than wood. If the stove is said to be able to burn other biomass I would suggest low and go up. Bucket of a blend does not take long to use up and is not to hard to remove from stove if the mix is undigestible.
