[QUOTE="KDM, post: 239994, member: 314"] We dropped over 2 grand on propane last year for heating which prompted a search for an alternative. We purchased a corn stove last spring and fired it up the first of November. All I can say is I wish I'd have acquired one 5 years ago. This stove has kept the whole house (basement included) at 63-65 degrees with a setting that consumes about a bushel of corn a day. Our house is 1500 sq/ft with a full basement and to say the least, I'm impressed. We just took out a window in the basement and plumbed the exhaust through that. It took a couple hours (with 2 men) and it's worked flawlessly. There's a little daily maintenance and I need to put in a corn chute so I don't have to carry corn in buckets, but heating the house for under 4 bucks a day doesn't suck. The savings on heat should pay for the stove in a couple years. A pic is worth more words than I care to type so...... [ATTACH=CONFIG]30031._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
