Pellet Corn Stove Disadvantages Compared To Multi Fuel Pellet Stoves At the beginning of the 21st century was when oil prices started their general rise to historic highs. This made many home owners look at their current oil or gas heating solution, and question if they really could afford to heat their home to the temperatures they feel comfortable at. Around the corn belt of America this made many people look to corn, the most commonly grown crop as a fuel substance. Corn stoves became very popular as the price of corn was very favourable. However as corn started to be processed into ethanol for transportation fuels, it started to be valued as a fuel and prices started to rise. However this also meant that the price of corn as a food substance also rose, meaning in many third world countries many people could no longer afford to buy corn for food. This means using corn as a fuel is morally questionable, and really there are much better options available to us as a fuel product. |

Premium Wood Pellets Pros And Cons V's Multi Fuel Biomass Pellets Though using corn directly as a fuel is not ideal, with corn crops there is a lot of residue left over in the form of corn cobs and stalks. This material can be processed into fuel pellets in a similar fashion to how sawdust is processed into wood pellet fuels. Producing fuel pellets for the waste from corn production has benefits for the farmer and the consumer. The fuel pellets will actually burn better than burning the corn its self. The farmer also gets to make income on selling corn for food, and the cobs and stalks for fuel. This way the price of the corn is kept reasonable as purely a food substance, but the farmer can still make a healthy income from the crop, in fact even more than simply selling corn for fuel. Now corn by-product fuel pellets do produce more ash and possible clinker formations than premium wood pellets, however they also have far more benefits. Firstly, corn stalk pellets are much cheaper, can produced locally and can support the local economy with jobs and helps reduce local waste problems. On the whole they have a much greener foot print than wood pellets. |
