Never been in here before...?

[d.n.f.]

My neighbour asked me this and I didn't have a clue.
Can you burn corn cobs in a wood stove (epa)?
He has about quarter an acre of corn and thought he might be able to use the eaten cobs.

I did a quicky search but my puter skills failed to find anything.

Corn cobs will burn in a wood stove. But then , won`t most anything?
I would think they would have to be dry like any other biofuel . I`m not sure how much smoke thay produce or how much heat they give off .
In summary I wish you luck.

My GARN is rated to burn cobb corn, not just the cobbs. It has pretty high energy content, but must be dry. I am looking into the cost of it right now (which is how I came upon this thread).
