I’m sorry, your pellet burning stove has been declared “forbidden contraband”

I do not have a pellet burning stove, I was just suggesting a way to burn food. I use an old non EPA stove that smokes a lot. I an doing my part to stop the comming Ice Age.

I'd go to Home Depot and get a pallet of 2X4s to cut up for fire wood. If that runs out you can go to an unfinished furniture store for fuel.

There are plenty of corn-burning stoves out there that are nothing more than a pellet stove with a shaker to prevent clinker formation.

Corn, at 15% moisture, gives about 6,800 to 7,000 BTU per pound of corn. The best wood pellets might give about 8,200 to 9,000 BTU per lb. There’s no free lunch as corn is over $6/bu, but for many people in the midwest, where the corn is easily available locally and wood pellets have to be trucked in from distant plants, it makes sense to burn corn.
