Grain stoves look similar to wood
or pellet stoves but instead burn
corn, wheat, rye, or other organic
materials such as cherry or olive
pits.
Grain Stoves Inc., an Ontario
company, says the spike in oil
prices has driven business
through the roof. "We're really,
really busy," said Charles
Gulutzen, whose family owns the
company.
While most customers are farmers
with easy access to corn crops,
he says word is spreading across
the country.

Grain Stoves - Multi Fuel Stoves and Furnaces
Pictured on the left is the Lil' Cozy Comfort Stove manufactured by
Grain Stoves, Inc. This mobile home, UL approved stove has a heat
input of 30,000 - 35,000 Btu; enough to heat 1,000+ square feet.
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.
You can avoid this chilly prospect by purchasing a back-up power system consisting of a
marine battery and inverter or a portable generator for prolonged outages.
