I was previously a wood burner at my last house. I would say that burning
corn is much less mess, and less work, than burning wood. We have not had
any problem with rodents yet, that we have seen. I try to keep the bags of
corn sealed up and try to keep any spilled corn around the boiler swept up.
Still, I plan on seeing if I can talk my wife into obtaining a four-wheel
drive mousetrap in the fall.  :-)  She is not a cat person, I am. I think the
real key is to get a cat with the same color hair as the dog she loves. That
way it is not "*your* cat's hair on the furniture..." Ahhhh,
marriage.

More work than what?  Gas/propane?  Yes.  But, more work than cordwood burning?  No, not by a long shot.  There is a lot more work and mess involved in burning wood.

No, at least not the corn burners we are talking about on this web site.
The corn stoves we are talking about burn only the shelled kernels of corn,
or wood pellets. I have heard about other grains being used and for more
information about that, check the forum area of the site. I put this
question first because, by far, this or something similar is the most common
question people ask when I tell them I installed a corn burning furnace in
my house.

The first video done with with the new video camera. This is the corn
delivery process for 2006. You might want to turn your sound down, the
diesel truck noise comes through real clear. Interesting to note, the
driver's name is <i>Bear</i> :-)

Here is a second video of delivery day. This one shot mostly at Jason's
house. It is a little long in spots but just when I was thinking of editing
it down, something interesting would happen. So, here it is, pretty much in
full length.
