Bulk corn kernels
Kernels on the cob

Corn kernels are the seeds of maize.

Corn kernels are used as pelletized fuel for pellet stoves and furnaces. Corn kernels are a natural pellet, which gives them a huge economic advantage over other man-made biomass pellets and wood pellets.

Corn kernels are readily available in bulk throughout maize producing areas. Transportation and packaging of dried clean corn kernels to non-producing areas adds to the cost.
