Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrokenBackJack" data-source="post: 192185" data-attributes="member: 642">We had one at the farm in the house.  Bought it from a guy in LaMoure, ND.  Worked well was set up like a stoker coal stove with a thermostat.  We bought a corn cleaner that you just poured a bucket of corn in it and it have a sieve on top and i bought different sizes of sieves.  Had a gravity wagon that held around 200 or so bushels and fed the stove, deer, and birds the corn all winter.  Stove used around (2) 5 gallon buckets per day and the bin held 12 bushels i think.  I can't remember the name of it but i know there were 2 companies and their stoves had the same name and was told NOT to buy the other companies stove as they had lot of problems with theirs.  Ours worked well and we had a big rambler with a full basement and we kept it at 75 degrees.  Had it tied into the forced air ducts on our propane furnace.  The corn stove was very well built and heavy!It got a build up of like creosote that you had to clean once a year.  Both the inside of the furnace and the stove pipes.  The stove black metal pipes lasted 2-3 years as very acidic.  We liked it and got a little exercise carrying corn too.  Worked best with cleaned corn and didn't want much of any stalks in it as they would get caught now and then in the stoker auger flighting.  Couldn't do it now with my back the way it is.R&B Motorsports in Jimtown used to have one in there for sale that was new and they knew the gentleman selling them.  The older gentleman in Jimtown to ask would be Cordell.Nice even constant heat and not alot of ash.  Did get some "clinkers" now and then just like coal.  Corn cleaner cost around 200 - 300 bucks i think.  Can't remember cost of stove (you know my memory) but guessing around 2,000-2,500 can't say for sure.  Don't know if the guy still sells them or not.We tried burning wheat and soybeans in it and the soybeans worked much better than the wheat.  Also had 20 gallons of pellets from the Pasta Plant in Carrington and threw that in there too and it burned that as well.  But corn had the most heat and easier to regulate the feeding into the stove.  If i find the name of stove or dealer i will post it.If we ever move to the Black Hills or Payson, Az i would invest in a pellet stove as much easier and don't have to clean the pellets.  Also burning wood smells better.  Guessing the bag of pellets would be more expensive.Hope this helps Davey!</blockquote>
