Andy Martin: After L.P. sticker shock 4 years ago I went and purchased one. I had been looking into them for several years but it took $1.79/gal L.P. to get me to act. The model I got was midwest grain stoves. I have been really happy with it, and it has exceeded my expectations. I live in an old drafty farm house and I placed the stove temporarily in the mud room(east end of house). I never expected the stove to be a primary heat souce but that is what it has become. My furnace only runs off an d on when the temp gets below the 20"s. The west end of the house can remain cool, but 75% of house is heated with this stove.
I use about 1.5-2 bu. max per day and sometimes with corn directly out of the field in wagons parked in the barn. Avg. 200 bushels/year. On the down side you have to change clinkers every 24hrs and there is some dust/ash which can be a problem if placed in a living room. Also if I bought a newer model it would have a dc backup so I could run it off of a car battery during power outages(stove only uses 4-5 amps). I figure though I have already saved the $2300 I invested with gas savings,(Small toddlers and wife like higher temps). Plus it only takes a couple minutes to get the corn brought in with buckets. Much easier and less labor then wood burning.

Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
