Has anyone stocked up on corn for the year or are you gonna burn pellets? We are in corn country and no one I know is going to burn it. Farmers are getting to much for it to put the extra effort into making it burn corn.
The two main Burn Corn Farmer's in this area slow dry their corn under 100 degrees to 11% or 12% moisture. They also gravity sift the corn to get out the small and large kernels. Some corn is bagged and the other is bulk delivered. There is a BIG difference in feed corn to burn corn. Granted if you put enough heat to anything it will burn but is it burning efficiently?
I've never seen any special "burn corn" for sale here in my area of MA.
I burned corn in our stove in 2005 and bought the feed corn
in 50 lb bags from Ventura Grain in Taunton.
