What they dont' talk about is that an oil or gas boiler/furnace will run

at
85% efficiency or better. A corn, wood, or wood pellet will run at much
lower efficiency. So these experts need to factor that into the

calculation.
The fuel is cheap but most of it goes up the chimmney.


No they don't. Corn stoves are not like normal wood stoves. Most burn at
around 85% efficiency.
