Corn

Corn is an alternative to pellet fuels, though it does have a higher ash content.  We buy only #2 corn, which is rigorously controlled to minimize ash content to about 1% ash.  Providing it is appropriate to do so in your stove, this product can also be mixed with wood to provide an economical alternative to burning pellets alone.   However, for the 2006-2007 heating season, we are recommending wood pellets over corn to our customers due to rising corn prices and falling pellet prices.

PelletSales.Com will soon provide data on ash and energy content for a variety of biomass fuels, as we are dedicated to helping our customers make efficient, economical, and informed decisions about their product selections.
