One lb of corn has about 8,200 btu's depending on its moisture content. Stove burns between 1 1/2 to 6 lbs per hour. Most will average less then 3 lbs/hr depending on your heating needs.

My corn tested at 11.5% moisture and I am still putting a cup of oyster shell to a 5 gallon bucket. Do you feel this is neccessary Steve? My buddy has had one fora year and this is how he runs his. Is the stove going to operate fine automatically with only corn or is this adjusting that a tech does?
