The best pellets have a ½% ash content. Cheaper
pellets may have 1 or 2% ash content. It does not
sound like much of a difference, but a 1% ash content
pellet is going to have to be raked and emptied twice
as often as the best pellets. 2% would be four times!
Any savings per ton may be outweighed by nuisance.
CORN MIX: The glamour for corn burning has
diminished as the cost per bushel has risen to near
pellet prices. The Upland 207 Pellet Stove will
accommodate a mix of corn and pellets. The ash
formed by corn tends to fuse together and clog things
up. Plus, the exhaust gases from corn combustion
are more corrosive than the smoke from wood pellets.
The Upland 207P Pellet Stove can handle a mix of up
to 1:4, pellets to corn. It will require considerably
more monitoring and tending than if you burned solely
pellets. If you burn a mix, you will have to experiment
to find your best mix. If you have your heart set on
burning only corn, we suggest that you look for a
stove specifically designed to burn corn.
