FAQ - Pellet and Corn Burning Stoves

Is there a difference in pellet fuel?

Yes.   All pellets are not the same.   There are many different manufacturers of wood pellets in the United States and they all have different combinations and types of woods used in their manufacturing process.   In regulating the wood pellets, the most important aspect is the ash content produced by the pellet.   Premium grade pellets will produce only 1% ash, while standard grade pellets will produce 3% ash.   Country Flame Pellet Stoves will burn a wide range of pellets, however, you will have to keep in mind that with any pellet stove, the more ash produced by the wood pellet, the more often the stove will need to be cleaned or maintained.

Is it less expensive to burn corn or wood pellets?

If you are going to purchase both kinds of fuels, and depending upon where you live, both types of fuel can be very close in price.   For the farmer who harvests corn and has a plentiful supply, the corn stove becomes very economical.

Do your Pellet Stoves require electricity?

Yes.   Country Flame Pellet Stoves need electricity in order to work.   If you desire to run your pellet stove during power outages, you will need to purchase a battery backup and inverter.   These can be purchased at local retailers such as Best Buy and Circuit City.
