Was the corn stove operated with a brisk burn or just poking along?
How dry was the corn?
Stoker corn, grain or coal stoves work far better if they feed from the bottom of the firebox.
Corn cobs per lb is good fuel but isn't doesn't weight up like coal.
Surprising how available coal still is a with a little looking. Some old buildings and industry still uses coal. Ask your local blacksmith where he gets his. With the price of natural gas, LP, electricity and oil. Coal may make a partial comeback. The reserves in just one county of Pennsylvania alone can run the US for 400 years.
Coal will cause corrosion as well if the pipes are not cleaned at the end of the heating season. Then again so does wood or anything else.
