Small wood pellet/ corn stove

[Hardtail1969]

Hi, I have a American Harvest 6039, seems to work well, it is kinda noisy(whistles) but I put it in the basement, I have a 1300 sq ft bungalow, not very big at all, and doesnt seem like it heats the main house at all, so, I was wondering if anyone knew who makes a small style pellet/corn burner about the same size as a Ashley pellet stove, I googled everything I can think of, but nothing shows about smaller units that will burn corn, my living room is maybe 14x16, and with and with the sectional couch in there i have maybe a 3x3 area to place something and still have an outside wall to vent, any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Magnum Baby is a good corn burner. Issues: keep a good lower auger bearing seal in them. Buy the cast iron pot that works great. where the corn falls out of the tube make sure that that area doesn't have a lip at the bottom. Some times they didn't get that weled just right and it caused a back up. Easy fix with a small die grinder, even a round file. You should be able to find a used one cheap.

, it is kinda noisy(whistles) but I put it in the basement,

Three options to stop the whistle 1. remove the louver assembly and leave it off (I think this is the best option as it also lets air push further into the room), 2. Remove louver assembly turn it upside down and reattach, (top to bottom, bottom to top), 3. Remove louver assembly apply thin coat of high temp rv silicone to back of louvers and reattach, (this is the USSC recommended fix).

That is what I have. Burns corn way better than pellets in my opinion. It is not auto ignition so even on low it may get to warm in that room on a not so cold day. With pellets the pot floor wants to carbon up and it is a real pain to keep it clean so it will slide open.

Harman P43 can burn pellet/corn mixture but they say it needs to be no more than a 50/50 mixture. I have a house about the same size as yours and the heat doesn't rise from the basement very well so I put a P43 on the main floor. I also had about the same space restrictions.

Don't know if this will help you with placement, but it helps get the bedrooms warm (they are over the garage so get cold air from 4 out of 6 sides)

Bob,
Have you burnt much corn in your 43? I tried a few years back and it did not seem to go well.
