| Natural gas can will be pretty competitive to corn per BTU of heat produced and a lot less work on your part feeding and maintaining the stove.
I don't think the reward is worth the risk.
A pound of corn will yield 6810 Btu at 15.5%. Lower btu's if it is wetter.
So at 15.5, that is 381,000 Btu's/Bu. Nat. Gas here is about 80 cents/ therm which is the same cost/ BTU as $3.04 / Bu. corn.
That does not factor in the increased efficiency of a Nat. Gas furnace over a corn stove.
