Selected Manufacturers of Corn/Wood Pellet Heaters and Fireplace Inserts

hank you for

your interest in

writing to me about using

wood pellets and corn to

heat your home. I became

aware of wood pellet heat-

ers about ten years ago

and I have used one (actu-

ally different models) ever

since. The picture below shows one of the

models which I have tested in my

own home. It is shown with a 40 -

lb.bag of pellets and a 50-lb. bag of

shelled corn in front of it.

Burning pellets is one of the

most convenient and a very clean

method to heat with wood, a re-

newable energy resource. Wood

pellets are available at many home centers

and farm/feed supply stores in 40-pound plas-

tic bags. I pay about $5.40 per bag for the

pellets in Cincinnati

and corn costs about

$5 per 50-lb. bag.

I have listed the

highest-quality pellet

heaters on the follow-

ing pages and any of these would be a good

choice. The two basic design options are a top-

feed and bottom-feed auger system. The top-

feed mechanism is a simpler design

where the pellets just drop into the

firepot from above and burn. It is a

safe system, but it requires more fre-

quent cleaning unless it utilizes some

type of automatic firepot cleaning

system. Bottom-feed designs can

typically use a greater range of higher-

ash content pellets and other fuels

such as olive or cherry pits, etc.

Burning corn is one of the least expensive

heat sources. Unless a pellet stove is designed

for corn, burning it create a hard clinker in the

firepot. Corn also has more ash content than

wood pellets. Stoves designed to burn corn

have some addition components or

special combustion process to keep

the firepot clean.
