Re: [biofuel] Cornburning Stoves
Its been written: Corn is 9,000BTU @ pound MH wrote: CORN 1,000 BTU/POUND (56,000 BTU per bushel @ 56 pounds) WOOD 8,600 BTU/POUND Where did you get this from? The page you show here doesn't even have corn on it. It has corn cobs and stalks, not shelled corn. I'm not sure where in the Worldww I read that! My apologies for providing misleading information. I see that 9k/BTU/pound is listed http://www.amaize-ingenergy.com/index.html but calculating the chart I get a range of 7500-8500 Anyway, it spurred my interest in Shelled Corn and found some additional info that could be of interest. Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences - ENERGY ALTERNATIVES http://energy.cas.psu.edu covers several topics. e.g. EnergySelector -- is a user-friendly decision-aide to easily compare the heating values available from any two energy sources.Heat Energy Content of Shelled Corn -- based on bomb calorimeter studies - about 6800, wood - 8200. They discount moisture level-BTU mathematically. University of Minnesota - Burning Shelled Corn to Produce Heat Energy http://www.bae.umn.edu/extens/energy/cornburners.html offer a formula for calculating fuel costsi.e. Cost per million Btu = [$2.00/bu divide by (392,000 Btu/bu x 0.65 efficiency)] x 1,000,000 and mentions burner design and corn ash challenges.

Re: [biofuel] Cornburning Stoves
I'm of the understanding that pressurized wood pellets are approximately twice as dense. So the energy content would be approx. twice as much ??? And require about half as much storage volume then cord wood. Corrections are welcomed.

Re: [biofuel] Cornburning Stoves
These are not uncommon in corn growing areas of the American Midwest where firewood is more expensive than bulk corn from local farmers. A few farmers in our area use them for corn they grow themselves since it costs less to burn their own corn than sell it and buy other fuel. The stoves are similar to wood pellet stoves in design though they have a little different crucible since corn tends to burn hotter than wood pellets. There is no popping of the corn as it is feed corn not pop corn and is dried down to a low moisture content. Sorry I can't recommend a brand. Dana Linscott snip __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
