The message below about burning corn got me remembering my experiment last year burning ear corn. I have an older wood burning stove that doesn't have grates and can't burn pellets or kernels. I tried whole ear corn last year and I had a lot of it and it worked pretty well. When I had good coals from the wood I added the ears. I can't fill the stove too full based on its design but the ear corn burned real well and gave off a lot of heat. I figure I could save a couple of face cord of wood per year out of the 8-9 I burn. I have to buy the wood and the ear corn is just fun to grow. Biggest drawback was the corn was very noisey when burning and outside smelled like burnt corn. Any body else trying to use ear corn for fuel?
