Questions on handling corn for a corn stove.

Posted by Brian in NY on August 04, 2006 at 07:55:58 from (12.149.100.21):

I have decided on a dual fuel corn/pellet stove.
Since I live in an agricultural region, plan is to burn mostly (if not all) corn.

My question is what is the best, easiest way to handle the corn. I can buy it bagged, by the ton at $180 per ton. That's easy...I can store it inside my dry, heated mouse free (thanks to my three cats) basement.

Was also thinking of "making" a grain bin out of gravity wagon.

Could use a regular grain bin, but they are pretty spendy.

Other question...am I going to have to purchase or make a cleaner for the corn? The bagged corn is pre-cleaned...but if I buy locally it won't be.

Thanks for any input you might have!
