Corn Burning Tips
TIPS ON STARTING A CORN BURNING STOVE
Corn stoves can be started very easily using a variety of methods.
The most common and probably the easiest way to start a corn stove
is to purchase one 40 pound bag of wood pellets (any grade) and use
the pellets and gelled alcohol as a starter. The starter pellets
should last at least one season and are very economical, especially
if purchased in the off season.
With most corn stoves you want to fill the burn pot 1/3 to 1/2 with
pellets and apply a modest amount of the gelled alcohol to the top
of the pellets. Use a short wood stick to partially stir the starter
gel into the pellets and apply a second dollop of gel to the top of
the mix. Simply take a match and touch the top of the starter load
and close the door. Usually wait for about 30 seconds and start your
stove as per the manual.
