Corn stoves for homes are hot item
An article in the Star Tribune attests to the popularity of corn burning stoves. We are defined as a "Consumer Craze" rather than a good idea who's time has come. Still, it is good to see this. The more people interested, the more companies are going to be interested in the corn stove building business and I have to think that is good for all of us.
On an unrelated note, it sure is cold our there today. It is sitting at seven degrees right now, I don't think we have been out of the single digits (unless you are talking the minus ones) for the past 24 hours. The house has stayed warm today but we have burned a lot of corn. I am getting a burn pot ready to change over maybe later tonight. It seems like when it is really cold like this and the boiler is burning hard, it pays to swap the pots out often. The only real trouble is I am getting low on wood pellets to start fires with so I am either going to have to find some or find some way to light fires within the next couple of weeks if it stays cold like this. I think I have about half a bag of pellets left.

Love the website. Lots of great information for those of us who have not made the plunge.
Keep it up.
Too bad you are out in the sticks...there are plenty of wood pellets in the twin cities between Menards and Mill's Fleet Farm.
Next time you are in town you should load up.
I was about to call you a lier! I was in the Twin Cities this past Wednesday and I had to hit three Home Depots and two Menards before I found them. I did eventually find pellets at the Menards in Hudson Wisconsin. They had two pallets sitting there. The price was up about a buck a bag from last year, I paid $4.70 a bag this year but at least I found them. I only needed four bags anyway, so it wasn't too bad.
