materials such as cherry or olive
pits.
While most customers are farmers
with easy access to corn crops,

Grain Stoves - Multi Fuel Stoves and Furnaces
According to the manufacturer, the stove consumes 2.8 pounds of
fuel per hour giving you 14 - 16 hours of burn time from each fill of
the 40 pound hopper.
Grain stoves burn the grain kernel's starch, emitting mostly carbon
dioxide. The only waste product is a lava rock-like substance that
is mostly potash and can be recycled as fertilizer.
Heat is circulated by an electric blower, but if the power to your
home goes out, the blower(s) won't work and you won't get any
heat.
