Corn Vs. Pellet Heat

The Breckwell SP8500 Multi Fuel Stove allows you to burn either pellets or corn. There are benefits to both types of fuel, and knowing more about their unique characteristics can help you make an informed choice.

Both corn and wood pellets put out around 80,000 BTU’s per hour, making them roughly even in terms of heating capacity. In areas where corn is abundant, it can be substantially less expensive than wood pellets, though this can vary based on that year’s crop and availability.

One of the drawbacks of heating with corn is storage, as it will need to be kept sealed in an airtight container to prevent contamination from rodents or insects. Corn can also leave a hard residue on burners with sugars in the corn burn, these are sometimes referred to as “clinkers”. This will require you to clean your stove more often to prevent buildup.

Wood pellets will produce less ash than corn, and do not have risk of creating “clinkers.” However, because of the manufacturing process required to make wood pellets, they are often more expensive than corn.

Both wood and corn are economically and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional heating fuels, and with replacement parts from Pellet Stove Parts for less your Breckwell SP8500 can provide your home with safe, clean, inexpensive heat for years to come.
