I guess the good news is that the current spot market price on natural gas is showing as $9.25/mBTU versus $15/mBTU back in September and October, but that's still well above the $6-7/mBTU that it was all last winter.
I guess a corn stove would work ok as long as you didn't use Orville Reddenbacher's in it...All kidding aside, does this type of stove burn the whole plant or just the cobs??
