The Charm of Corn Pellet Stoves
Hubby and I have been looking for alternative heat sources for our den for several weeks now. It has become a favorite place for our daughter to play at and hang out and can become quite chilly in the afternoon and early evening. Her room is already well-heated, but since she has asthma, we were advised by our pediatrician to have all the rooms where she stays in at an even temperature. More importantly, the heater should not be emitting smoke or exhaust because it would only aggravate her condition.
Tony and I have been looking at pellet stoves for this purpose because we have heard that this is really efficient and economical. We drove over to a supplier this weekend and we were surprised at so many different types and models available. The one I particularly liked was the corn pellet stove. As the name suggests, corn pellet stoves are powered by corn. It generates heat by burning corn pellets but does not produce much ash nor does it cost much.
Unlike other heaters, this one does not rely on gas or electricity to run. You just need to load the stove full of corn pellets and you’ll be provided with continuous and even heat for weeks at a time. Cleaning this kind of heater is also easy since it does not produce a lot of ash in the end.
