New Corn Furnace
"I started my own fireplace and stove business in 1975 and quickly learned that not all stoves are created equal," says Rick Titus, Clarion, Iowa. "I sold my first corn-burning furnace in 1982, a æKernel' stove made right here in Iowa. It burned corn but boy did it stink because it burned a pile of corn all at once inside the furnace. Today most corn stoves feed corn in just a few kernels at a time and they burn very hot so there's no smell. However, most corn stoves don't do a good job burning bin-run corn. The fines often build up in the drop tube and cause a blockage.
  "About a year ago, I heard about a new corn furnace that customers were saying was the best unit they had ever seen. So I went to the factory and saw it for myself. I was so impressed by the simple design and truly unique way of burning that I decided to become a dealer. S.A.R. is the name of the company which stands for the names of the three owners of the company, but it could also stand for Superior Advanced Research. They spent 7 years perfecting their design.
  "Not only does it easily burn bin-run corn but it has a 4-bu. built-in hopper, which doesn't stick off the side like other stoves. It's out of sight. Also, the ash only has to be cleaned out once a month. Sizes of forced-air units range from 100,000 to 250,000 btu's.
