FAQ for Countryside
Was the Countryside designed to run on Corn? Many companies are trying to convert wood pellet stoves to burn corn or a corn, wood pellet mix. This stove was the first nationally certified multi-fuel burning stove. This stove can burn corn, wood pellets or a combination of corn and wood pellets along with some other types of pellets such as cherry pits or olive pits.
Does the Countryside have a self cleaning firepot? Yes. The Countryside has a specially designed firepot so that the ashes drop into the ash drawer below the stove making it easy to use.
How does the Countryside vent? The Countryside Stove vents out of the building through side wall or a vertical termination. Exhaust piping needs to be an "L" vent listed pipe.
Is the Countryside hard to install? No. However we recommend that a factory trained dealer install the stove so that proper installation is achieved. The Countryside can be installed in about any location as long as side wall or vertical termination is available.
Can you burn "seed corn" in the Countryside? No. Seed corn is treated with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal if swallowed; therefore, seed corn is dangerous to have in the house, especially where children can reach it.
What kind of clearance does the stove need? The Countryside only needs a 1" clearance for the back, side and corner. This takes the physical size of the stove and makes it smaller because of the closeness of the clearance requirements.
How safe is the Stove? The Countryside Stove has many built in features to keep the stove safe. Features such as: Low and High temp auto shutdown, lid open safety switch and proper insulation, so the stove top and on the 3 sides is cool to the touch.

Clean Burn Corn Additive?
AMERICAN ENERGY SYSTEMS INC. HAS DEVELOPED AN ADDITIVE THAT WHEN MIXED WITH CORN VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES THE (CLINKERING) THAT IS CAUSED BY THE COMBUSTION PROCESS OF BURNING CORN.
HOW DOES IT WORK AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT? The clean burn additive is a unique blend of the right ingredients that will oxygenate the combustion process producing a cleaner more productive fire. This will generate more BTU'S out of corn, clean up the combustion process and produce less ash.
HOW DO YOU MIX THE CLEAN BURN ADDITIVE? Depending on how much starch or protein content that you have in your corn supply you will have to change the percentage of mixture. The normal mixture is a ratio of one (1) part Clean Burn additive to 150 parts of corn. This translates to approximately 1 & 1/3 pounds of Clean Burn for every hopper of corn. ( app. 5-6 handful's )
To mix the Clean Burn additive simply add it to the corn and mix in by hand. If you have corn with low starch content you may be able to decrease the mixture, and corn with high starch content will require more. The easiest way to tell if the mixture is right is, after a day of burning, look at the Fuel Stirrer in the Firepot and if there is any buildup of clinker on the fingers you need to increase the mixture.
If there is excessive white powder in the firepot you can decrease the mixture.
Using the Clean Burn additive will reduce maintenance, ash content, buildup in the firepot, fly-ash on the outside of the home and will increase the heat output. The additional heat output will more than pay for the cost of the additive.
CAN I STILL USE OYSTER SHELLS AS AN ADDITIVE? We have found that the oyster shells, even though they will work, causes auger jams, pre-mature wear or damage to the auger motor and excessive ash buildup. We do not recommend that you use oyster shells and if you do use them it will void warranty on the auger system. Mixing in a small handful per hopper will not hurt the system.
GIVE CLEAN BURN A TRY. YOU WILL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

Relative Cost of Heat - Fossil Fuel Comparison to Corn
Average Prices (Plug in your local Cost)
All heat output is measured in terms of BTU's. One BTU is the amount of heat needed to raise one pound of water one degree. Column 4 gives you a measure of the approximate cost of heat available from each alternative source of fuel. However, column 5 is the key column, as it incorporates the efficency of a particular unit, to ensure the effective cost of that energy for heating your home.
Typically, it takes 30 to 40 pounds of corn per day to heat a 1500 square foot home. This means that you can heat your home for an average of $1.64 per day.
It is important to realize that, even within a state, average energy or fule prices can vary widely. So, to determine the specific cost comparisons in a particular region or country just change the price structure in Column 3, to determine the resulting costs on Column 4 and 5. Similaryly, different efficiency levels can be substituted in Column 5 to allow flexibility here to test various heating units.
