Anyone have experience burning corn in a Whitfield pellet stove? Instructions say not to do it. (I really think it has to do with Whitfield not wanting to go to the expense of testing thier stove and getting EPA approval or meeting some such BS approval). I see stories of users mixing corn and wood pellets. Lots of corn grown in this area and it's sure cheaper than pellets. Need to help the farmers that's for sure. Give me some feed back..... .Thanks,jmh

Is the wood pellet stoker stove just drops the fuel into a burn basket, no. If the fire box is bottom fed with an auger then grain fuel maybe an option. Problem is corn is so full of sugar the half burned sticky caramel ash can bung up and smoother the fire.

I was in a TSC store today and heard a customer who was looking for a corn burning stove ask the same question. All they had in stock (besides wood stoves) were pellet burners; he asked if you can burn corn in them (don't know what brand). The answer was you need to use at least half pellets.
