... John, I always have plenty of comments, some of which might actually be relevant! Or are u asking for comments from the group in general? Here's mine...
... I'm looking for comments and responses from everyone on the list, including you, to help me refine the list of suggestions. ... If you go back to my...
Hello list, I am looking for input on the pros and cons of my non-wood heating options. Particularly pellet or corn stoves. I am not aware of any coal being...
Sorry, I don't know much about either options, but I do have a comment about the price you mentioned for corn. It is pretty high. Last month I bought a wagon...
Aron, Thanks for the reply. Do you know what the moisture content of your corn is? The corn I was quoted is 12-14 %. I do not know if that is the same corn...
Aron, Pellets here in Virgina were selling for $150.00 per ton this winter and shelled corn is about the same from the feed stores. Buying direct from the...
Here's my 2 cents: I don't have much of a varied wood supply, so unfortunately I have to burn what I got left. However, I have found I can get broken pallets ...
Bob, The dwn side of burning corn is the ash, which is quite high (but if you are emptying a stove daily then it's no problem) Clinker build up and its lower...
Spring and fall are the easy seasons to heat when you have a heat storage tank. I have a tarm 140,000 btu boiler. Depending on the temperature outside I run...
I couldn't help but to respond to your comments on your Tarm. I was initially thinking of buying an outdoor boiler, but gave up on that when I saw how poor the...
The man I know that is using a corn stove told me that he removes a small clinker each day, simple matter of opening the door and removing the clinker from the...

My goal has been to avoid having my gas furnace fire as much as possible.Before I retire, I fire my woodstove up(as long as the outside temp.<45deg),the...
The MB series are not gasification boilers, so they aren't very efficient, I'm guessing that they are only 50% efficient. The HS series are the gasification...
My thanks to you and others who have provided responses to my questions. I'm particularly interested in operating experiences of those who own Tarms. Has...
From the Tarm website: "In designing the Excel and Solo Plus Series, HS-TARM engineers decided that the best way to burn these gases was to use a firebox with...
