Corn cost less.  Corn heat is the best. Amaizablaze corn stoves prove the rest.  

Continuous, variably controllable air flow and heat input stabalize the room temperature and eliminate RH and temperature swings caused by thermostat deadband. Maintain relative humidity at the healthy 50% RH.  Filter and recirculate clean room air. Remove solid particulates, airborne allergies, mold, mildew and viruses.  Recirculate room air through the high combustion temperature of the corn stove to kill germs, viruses, molds, yeast, and mildew.  Eliminate temp deadband swings that swing room relative humidity. Reduce skin stress, conserves energy, improve radiant room heat, contain energy cost, Improve sensible comfort zone.  Afford the financial comfort of low cost heat and relative humidity control.

Whole kernel shelled corn is the low cost local globally home heating fuel. NESCO Amaizablaze corn stove are made in Cookeville, Tennessee.  Heat energy fuel is grown by local farm families on local corn farms. Corn is local, annually renewable energy. Corn fuel is safe, clean, healthy, renewable. Corn combustion produces no smoke, zero opacity, is environmentally friendly. Corn fuel and corn combustion is non-toxic, non-pollutant, non-explosive. Corn energy is the original edible energy consumed by work horses to plow fields and raise food.  Although global population constantly increases, more acres of corn were raised prior to 1930 than any year since. The cost of corn in America has remained between 5c/gal and 50c/gal since 1816. No comodoty price is more stable than the price of corn. Corn heating fuel "reduces global warming by annually converting a net positive amount of CO2 to oxygen"

High oil prices cause global prices to escalate by increasing transportation cost to market. Don't blame corn for food and high energy prices.  Corn is local grown and locally used. Don't blame corn farms. One bushel of corn will make 3 gallons 110 octane fuel which will plow an acre of corn and produce 100 to 300 bushels of corn. No other energy returns 100 to 1 volume on the energy investment.  Corn farm profit is only 10 cents per bushel each year or $30 per acre in a good production year. It takes a 1000 acre farm, a vegetable garden, orchard, and home based beef to support a farm family on $30,000/yr raising corn.   

Corn cost less, is safe, and clean.
