That is a very good price IF the stove is in operating condition.

I prefer the motor outside...keeps it quieter in the living room.

I have not had any problems with the motor being outside.

Do yourself a favor and go back to burning corn.

I too have burned corn for several years with my Amaizablaze 2100.

It only took me 20 bags of wood pellets to realize corn was much better in many ways.

I had a messy stove, jammed auger many times, and less heat.

I am glad I tried pellets though, so now I know for myself not to do it again.

I have already given up on pellets...too dirty, dusty,too much ash, auger jams.

Man I could not get back to corn fast enough.

FYI to Amaizablaze owners...

I went to adjust my draft setting today only to find the plug rusted solid.

Been burning corn for several years now and decided to try pellets this year.

Thought I should add more air only to discover it is going to take some extra effort to get the plug loosened up.

Might want to give the plug a turn or two once in awhile as to prevent this from happening to you.

Maybe sticks out an extra 6-8 inches with the motor.

I can't tell you what the actual length is but it sticks out the same distance as the standard kit.

I should say that my stove is the 2100.

The Nesco mounts outside the house and draws the air out.

One thing I like about the negative draft kit from Nesco is that it makes the stove quieter with the motor outside the home.

This is something to consider.

Going to sell my corn out of the field this year and try pellet burning.

2100 Amaizablaze with negative draft kit...

Do pellets produce as much heat?

What about the clinker?...can you remove it w/o losing the fire?

Educate me on pellet burning vs. corn burning.

TIA

Agreed...and I would recommend the negative draft kit.

I tried the clothes dryer indoor venting for a couple of winters.

It sure is a nice warm/moist heat but our house is tight and small.

The drawback I found was water running down the inside of my windows...very heavy condensation.

I noticed no mold or other issues though.

If my corn stove was not heating our home well I would be using the dryer trick again.

Again, individual results may vary.

9.00 for 50 pounds of corn is way out of line.

I too have thought about putting 4 tote bags of corn in my basement or garage...but I wonder how the concrete would hold up with the weight.

I cannot recall if my basement and garage floors are 4" or 6" thick.

Man would I like to put an extension on the hopper so to double the corn volume.

A couple of years ago I saw hopper extensions on eBay that looked good.

Unfortunately I have not seen them for awhile. The guy had a neat and clean

looking modification.

Anyone have thoughts or ideas ?

I replaced mine a couple of years back...not a big deal. It is good to have a spare on hand to minimize downtime.

Mine was purchased thru my local dealer.

Dry corn will make a big difference.
