On My Way Thru the News of the Day
Submitted by BrendaFayBowers on Wed, 02/14/2007 - 12:38pm.Heating your home with Corn sound corny? Well a couple in New Jersey are using a Corn burning stove to heat part of their 8000 sq.ft. home. It takes approximately 50 pounds of corn a day and heats so well they sometimes have to open their windows to cool the place down, and the lady of the house has been known to wear a bikini around the house in winter.
The corn burning stove costs around $4000. But the inventor claims the costs is recovered in 3 to 4 years depending on where you live, how many months out of the year you need to heat your home and of course the cost of corn. At any rate, corn is far less costly than oil or natural gas, and very much cleaner. So as “corny” as it sounds perhaps there will be a corn burning stove in your future.
