[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 240010, member: 642"] We used one on the farm for years. Worked just like a coal stoker furnace. Bought it from a guy in LaMoure. Worked great. Burned wood pellets, durum pellets, corn, and a little wheat. Corn and wood pellets worked the best. Corn had to be pretty clean to feed right. Hooked it into our forced air system. Our propane furnace never ran. Hopper would last about 7-14 days. Would keep house at any temperature i would set thermostat at. Was like wood or coal burner as always had warm air coming out of duct work whether fan was running or not. Think the hopper was 14 bushel but can't be positive. His name was Dale and have his phone number but won't post it on interweb. PM if really interested. Wasn't cheap! Our house was 2,000 sq. Ft ranch with full basement. Had a 200 bushel gravity wagon and bought corn from our farm land renter. Just make sure to get it all empty by spring so you don't get bugs or spoiled grain. We also fed our deer and pheasants out of it. Pheasants loved the corn screenings we got from pouring it over the cleaner. [/QUOTE]
