Heat with Corn!
\e v
Burn Shelled Corn In This Biomass Furnace
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE
The corn burning furnace has many advantages
over wood and coal heat The large storage bin
holds up to 14 bushels of fuel, which is automati
cally fed into the combustion chamber as needed.
There’s no need to load the furnace several times
a day The use of corn also eliminates the bark
mess, insects, splinters, and handling problems
connected with the use of wood fuel, and the dust
and dirt from coal UL Approved
