Excerpts from http://online.wsj.com/article/SB113434413248219685.html

Roughly 30,000 people snapped up corn stoves
and corn furnaces this year, twice last year's total.

Talk about a complete and utter obscenity...

No surprise tho from the biggest collection
of environmental rapists in the entire world...

The furnace is made to hook into the distribution ducts of
a heating system and heat the whole house, while the stove
is free-standing, designed to radiate heat in a single room.

The exhaust from both is clean and cool, requiring
only a small duct to the outside, rather than a chimney.

Dried corn doesn't burn easily. The process in modern stoves and
furnaces is controlled by computer chips and temperature probes.

Owners don't continually shovel corn into the furnace.
Corn-filled hoppers on top of the stove do the work.

To make a million British thermal units of heat it takes
$22.64 of heating oil, $33.80 of propane, or $16.47
of natural gas. Burning corn can do the job for $8.75.

Only due to the terminal stupidity of agricultural subsidys.

Sales of wood pellet stoves have begun to falter, partly because
the industry can't make wood pellets fast enough., so US Stove
Company is selling a multi-fuel stove. It burns corn, cherry and
olive pits, and alfalfa pellets. Customers report that it also heats up
pretty well when stoked with certain brands of cheap, dried dog food.

Wota packa terminal ****wits.
