Are corn furnaces or wood pellet furnaces a better alternative to my natural gas home furnace?

After a bird in Iowa told me that they heat their house to 80 degrees for only $1 per day, I had to figure out a better way to do what I am doing. They use a shelled-corn-fueled-furnace. After doing some fact-finding I have found that many recommend wood pellet furnaces. So, which is most efficient and which has a stronger future (ie. fuel supply, less volatile quotation for the commodity, etc.)? Thanks

I have two corn excited stoves and I have been very happy with them. I am not sure if corn or wood pellets is more efficient but I think corn is cheaper to operate. Also you can buy corn in magnitude from a farmer or grain elevator, with pellets you have all the bags. The heat from corn seems to help with humidity, it does not experience as dry. Right now I am using one bushel of corn per day so thats about $3.50 (for each stove). Last year it was $2.00. Corn prices do modulation so $2 can and most likely will happen again.

Does anyone have any information about corn burning furnaces? Any good brands to consider?

I have seen some ads for a Snyder corn seething furnace and would like to speak with someone who owns one.

Has anyone burned the Bio Advantage or Maxim corn furnaces by Central Boiler? Does it work? Good or Bad?

In point of fact costs more to produce than you pay for it. It is subsidized a lot.

Just another attempt to lessen the dependence on fossil oil that does not pull off anything.
