I have two corn burning stoves and I have been very happy with them. I am not sure if corn or wood pellets is more efficient but I think corn is cheaper to operate. Also you can buy corn in bulk from a farmer or grain elevator, with pellets you have all the bags. The heat from corn seems to help with humidity, it does not feel as dry. Right now I am using one bushel of corn per day so thats about $3.50 (for each stove). Last year it was $2.00. Corn prices do change so $2 can and most likely will happen again.
