I have a 100,000 btu LDJ Amazing heat forced air furnace and have been heating with it 100% for the past 4 years in the UP of Michigan. I am heating 2100 sq house early 1900s farm house plus the basement too. This house has no wind protection and heats hard. We average 100 lbs a day of corn in Jan and have had good luck mixing 50% pellets in from time to time. The furnace cut our fuel oil bill by 50% and I dont screen the corn for this unit like we would for a small stove. You can probably pick up a used on on I burn corn web site in their classifieds reasonable too. As far as for up keep I dump my ash pan one ever week or 2, a full hopper will last me a 7 days, I can leave and go places with out a problem unless the power goes out. The Wife and kids like it too. If I am buying corn by the bag as we do occasionally 30 minutes of hauling will last a month. As far as a smaller unit, the 165k is adjustable form 80,000 to 165,000 which i would like better than the 100,000. It will cook us out a just an idle of about 50 lbs a day in the spring and fall. As note it takes about 30 minutes to get it blowing heat if you just need to take the chill off on a damp fall day. Half a metal garbage can of ash for the whole winter.
Those are the pros and cons hope that helps. We like ours.

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ?
