Bought me some corn for the stove.....

Corn stoves want clean, dry corn, fellow comes for a few bags full takes more time, so Anything around $3 would be fair to both sides.

Typically one burns 200 bu or so in a corn stove per year, a gravity box, so you can go get your corn, then store it in a shed, or a _really_ good tarp is the way to go. You show up with a gravity box & you can have the corn for under $2 a bu.

Any reason you can't store it in the bags you got it in, put it on top of metal buckets so no rodent can climb up to it, just keep it in the bags.

Plastic or metal 55gal drums go $2-5 each around here, couple of those would be a lot cheaper than your way.

If you want to buy bulk corn from the mill it will cost you $2.45/ bushel or $4.38/cwt.

I"m with the other guys however, burning corn doesn"t make much sense from a cost stand point. By the time you buy the burner, maintain it, maintain your backup system, and pay retail or higher for your fuel.

It seems to me that the money would be better spent improving the efficiency of your house and current heating system.

They have some great storage,cleaning,and transfering systems sure beets carrying corn. after my first year that was the only down fall.

shoot me an e mail for there # or email addy if you would like it. they have some good cheap systems avaiable

The place that I rent for the work week in Joliet is brutal. Brutal. Makes for excellent sleeping at night in the winter though...just pile on the blankets and comforters and snore the night away.
