  Corn burning stoves

I've heard os several being put in in our aeria, but I haven't kept abreast with how they've worked out. About the only two heat sources I can think of for a home that the price of isn't controled by supply and demand are solar and fire wood. Corn and any oil based sources are commoditys that the prices of can fluctuate because most anything related to the total supply being available for sale at any given time. Right now corn prices are low and oil is high. Usually world weather conditions and the need for corn control the price, corn could double in cost by next year, maybe not, oil could, tho I doubt it could brecome less expensive in time. weather conditions have nothing to do with the amount of oil that can be available, the supply is just in the hands of countrys thart we seem not to be able to negociate with to our advantage. Frank.

  Corn burning stoves

Cornstalks are far from a free source of heat. During favorable weather in the fall stalks can be baled dry enough to burn. But a look at the true cost of the stover (stalks) after the cost of the big furnace, hiring the baling done and transport to a dry shelter is in the nutrient removal from the soil contained in the stover that must be replaced by fertilizer to the tune of about 35 dollars per acre for the stover only from corn that produced 200 bushels per acre. Stover baled for bedding is eventually returned to the soil in the manure spreader, so the nutrient value is returned to where it came from. In the mid seventys the Stormor bin and grain drier company had a stover burning furnace that could be adapted to a grain drier, it was a failure because of the above reasons, LP gas was a much cheaper source of heat then and even with todays LP costs burning stover would still cost more than LP. With todays electricity and LP costs it runs roughly twenty dollars per acre for drying 200 bu. pr acre corn. Just a farmers point of view. Frank.
