Clean-Burning Grain Heater

Using corn as a heating fuel may sound strange, but it has some compelling environmental and economic advantages. Corn heaters have been around for a while, but until recently they were all produced in tiny garage or basement shops with poor quality control and off-the-shelf components not designed specifically for handling and burning corn.

Two years ago, however, Eneco Corp., of Guelph, Ontario entered the picture with their line of Envirotec heaters, and the company is quickly changing the image of the industry.
