[QUOTE="KDM, post: 288212, member: 314"] I heat my 1400 sq ft rambler home with full basement for about 5 bucks a day (appx 1 bushel) using a corn burner. It takes me about 3 minutes each day to fill the hopper, empty the ash brick, and clean the air exchange tubes. I use 180 bushels of corn each winter (give'er take 10 bushels). I have propane and electric for backups when we hit those super cold spells, but my little stove keeps the house at between 62-66 degrees all on it's own. I would get better if I connected it to the duct work, but for now it just heats the basement and the heat percolates up through the floors. The two largest issues is corn storage during the winter and getting the corn from the storage to the stove. Both would depend on your house and stove location particulars. If you are interested in hearing more about corn burners, just drop me a PM and we'll talk on the phone. WAY to many specifics unique to each house/location to type about. Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
