How Can You
Help The Environment With A
Corn Burning Stove?
As a rule of thumb, people who have bought
corn burning stoves and furnaces report that they burn about one bushel of corn
a day to heat 1500 to 1800 square feet, depending on the insulation of their
house. If you are going to heat twice that area, you will burn about twice that
amount. A bushel of corn costs about $2.
Clean Burning
| |
• Corn burners have no smoke and no
creosote. |
| |
• Corn stoves do not need a chimney. |
| |
• Corn burners burn so cleanly they
are exempt from EPA regulation. |
|
|
• Corn, like trees,
cleans the air through photosynthesis as
it grows. |
| |
• Corn is not a fossil fuel.
|
| |
• Corn is an annual renewable
resource. |
| |
• U.S. farmers grow between 9 and 10
billion bushels of corn every year.

You can think of corn as storable solar
energy. The sun's energy helped the corn grow.
This energy is stored in each kernel to be used
later, whether it's to feed livestock, fuel your
car or heat your home.
Corn heaters are also safer for the environment.
They produce very little ash, as they burn 98
percent of the corn. The ash that is produced
contains minerals from the corn. Minerals do not
burn, so you can use this ash to fertilize your
lawn or garden.
