I have an "Amizeablaze" model 4100 corn burning fireplace insert. I be wondering if I can also burn pellets designed for a pellet stove, or even a mixture of corn and pellet. What do you think? Thanks
Answers: http://www.capecodstove.com/cornstoves.h... say this:
"Announcing multi-fuel stove kits for our cornstoves! Our full queue of Amaizablaze Cornstoves can be adapted to burn wood pellets as ably as dried corn. Existing stoves can be retrofitted to burn both fuels. Estimated cost from the Amaizablaze is $250."
So the short answer seems to be 'yes' - but it looks approaching it's not as easy as a moment ago dumping wood pellets into your corn stove.
You might know how to mix wood pellets and corn 50/50 lacking needing an adaptor gear, but expect it to put out less roast when doing that. I've been considering trying to put corn within my wood pellet stove, but I'm taking the advice of some ancestors online who say to mix the two together, the wood can moderate the superior burning temp of the corn, and reduces the clinkers (carbon chunks within the burnpot) that corn is prone to.
Corn burns hotter than wood pellets, so that may explain why you obligation some kind of paraphernalia or adaptor to make wood pellet work in a corn stove. I've see info on some multi-fuel systems that says they own a switch position for which type of fuel you're using, wood pellets, corn, cherry pits, sunflower seed, etc., and that probably means they enjoy whatever adaptation that are necessary for different fuels already built contained by.
Good luck!
