Does anyone know where plans for the workings of a corn stove can be found? I have seen the Very Nice ones for a home - I want one for Shop. I donot care what it looks like , just that it works and is safe to use. I have an old woodburner to convert or replace. Thanks joe

I don't know about your area but my neighbor just looked into that and unless you can grow enough of the corn yourself, it's not really cost efficient with the price of corn. He estimated about a bushel a day. A couple of years ago I looked at the corn stove and the intial price was pretty high. I also remember they had a device inside that countined to turn the corn so that it burned hot and completely - and that required electricity along with the blowers.

You are correct, pellet, corn, or multifuel as those that burn both are called, there are at least two and in multifuel/corn stoves most times three motors that require electricty.
One to feed the fuel, one to supply combustion air, and in corn/multifuel one to stir the burn pot.
However, I find pellets cheaper than electric or propane. Much easier to handle and less mess than stick wood. I have mixed corn and pellets with some success even though my stove is not really made for corn.

I don't know about plans but I have seen cross section drawings on ebay (search corn stove). You may be able to draw up your own from them if you know what makes them work. Seems the trick is to keep it burning once started by supplying a steady stream of air to the burning corn to keep it hot enough to continue to burn (like blowing on coals). After that is a matter of feeding it a the right rate. Then it a simple heat exchanger and exguast system. At least thats how I see it.
