 We
are building a building around the outdoor wood
stove in the fall of 2014 |
 It
is a 18'x56' building. |
 The
woodstove is in the center of the building with
firewood on both sides. |
 In
the fall of 2015 we installed a corn/pellet
stove and tied it into the hot water system of
the wood stove. We can now leave the farm for a
few days and the corn stove can carry the heat
load and we can supplement with the wood stove
if we want to. |
 The
corn stove is fed from a hopper bin to the north
of the building. |
 The
auger from the hopper bin empties into the
hopper of the corn stove, we have a flap switch
that stops the auger when the corn gets to set
level, and starts the auger when it gets low. To
prevent the auger motor from doing a lot of 2-3
second fills, I installed a 24hr timer on the
circuit for the fill system that only allows the
auger to run and fill the hopper twice a day.
