Corn kernels are readily available in bulk throughout maize producing areas. The price as of 2005 is only about $1.80 per bushel in the U.S. This makes it the most inexpensive of all pelletized fuels. Pelletized fuels are used for corn and pellet stoves and furnaces. Corn kernels are a natural pellet, which gives them a huge economic advantadge over other man made biomass pellets. Transportation and packaging of dried clean corn kernels to non producing areas will add to the price; but it might still undercut the price of biomass pellets. It is certainly more available at present (2005).
