Re: corn furnace and alternate fuel info
Yup, dried kernels.

It's not surprising that so many places are sold out on alternative heating devices. The way natural gas prices have been going, I think a lot of folks are realizing they will want to have some alternatives if natural gas prices spike upwards again the way they did in the previous couple months.
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.
My neighbors are getting very curious about the scent coming from my house. When I got home this evening, one of my neighbors said it smells like my bbq had been going, and wondered what we were cooking.
They are also curious about the furnace and the difference in price to heat. I have told a couple of the guys about it, but it does involve work to move the bags, clean the fire pot and so forth. I think once they get there first gas bill the end of this month, or some time in December, they will be willing to cut up some trees, or look at another source for heat.
