The 1 bushel a day will probably be way low. Corn or wheat ( I burn either in old Dovetec Stoves and Envirotec) These grains contain about 7000 BTU's of energy per pound. If a forced air furnace or boiler is rated for 100,000 BTU/hr you will be burning about 12/13 pounds per hour. This is contiuous output mind you and 100% efficency. If the system demanded full out put you would burn about 5 bushels /day. The grain also has to be dry, this is 1 of the reasons that I use wheat. We straight cut it usually under 13%. With todays commidity prices grain burning looks pretty attractive. Until I learn how to grow propane, wheat and corn will be my fuel of choice.
