I used a Magnum Countryside for 10 yrs. We about wore it out so I moved it to the shop for heat. We now use a ST Crouix to burn our corn. I will say the St crouix is more touchy as to the moisture, I dry mine down to 13% so the wife can run the stove with less hassel. It might be a "here" thing but it will not burn 15% corn for me.

The countryside will burn field run corn at 16% with no problem. The countryside has a stirrer in the firebox that helps burn the corn completely. It makes more btu's per bushel of corn. Of the two I like the countryside better. Both require electric power to operate. One draw back to the countryside is the fly ash created by the stirrer, it needs to be confined once it is outside the house. Good Comfy Heating for both.
