Re: corn furnace and alternate fuel info
Here's my data. Looks like I'll be burning about 4 tons a year. However, thanks to gonavy, I got in touch with the corn co-op he found, and instead of paying 175 a ton I'll be paying 130 a ton. Big difference. As you can see from the data, I have used 41 bags of corn, or 2050 pounds for the month of November. I am going to try to improve the efficiency of the furnace with in-line booster fans in the duct work. I put a fan in the duct work that you would find in a microwave vent. It has helped a bit, but I think it is only about 150cfm. I am going to put 3 600cfm fans in various points in the duct to improve performance. Let me tell you, the air is very warm, definitely in the 120-140 degree range. Just need to push it out!
