I have a harman pb105 and can burn anything short of rocks. I want to buy 2 stoves for next season but dont want to buy one thats fussy...I like the fact that I can buy a cheap pellet and and not have problems....thanx in advance for your time
 
Typically the multi fuelers are more forgiving than "pellet only" stoves. I've burned a lot of pellets in my furnace that other people have said wouldn't burn in their stoves.
 
My pc45s with the open end pellet pot seem to handle "The good, the bad and the ugly" and corn if it keeps coming down!
 
We test the Osburn 5000 & Enerzone Euromax & Eurostar on bark pellet and switch grass (worst stuff you can burn). We also certify them on these low grade pellets.
 
Just had supper last night with a very large corn farmer and we talked about the corn and prices and with SA crop doing ok and if we get the heartland wet again and very good likely hood of goverment support of ethanol going down or away we could have corn on par with pellet prices again. There is alot of buts there I know, but would probably make an impact on pellet prices as one can get corn without bagging and transport costs. I don't miss the furry vermin that corn brings but I have evrything to store, clean and burn corn. I need corn to get to $5 to be the same as pellets.
 
Quad Mt. Vernon will also burn about anything.
 
I have burned switch grass, corn, cherry pits and wood pellets in the Enerzone Euromax and Euro Star and have had no issues with them burning anything I put in it.
