Yrs. back I saw a guy heat his shop with a corn cob furnace. It worked
very good. He used broken cobs without kernels & made an autofeed auger
from his gravity box. Could almost get the furnace red hot.

Just curious, but does it just burn the left over chaff, or only the
husks? Do you feed in the kernals? If you feed in the kernals, does it
smell like popcorn when it's running?


Now you have ME curious. This looks like a good tutorial site:

I thought they were burning the stripped cobs after taking the food
kernels off, but they're burning kernel corn. Who thought up THAT one?
