Why People Are Talking About The St Croix
Thank you for inquiring about our corn stoves, we have the most
popular corn stoves on the market today! The Auburn is being called the new
champion because of it's efficient running, reliability, and easy maintenance.
With it's 90# hopper and 2.5 day run on low per filling it's an easy choice. Our
Lancaster has a small footprint but a mighty blast of heat you would be happy
with. And the Greenfield is a cannon blast of heat; easily the hottest corn
stove on the market, with the great cast iron look!
Here are some corn facts the St Croix overcomes with a hotter burn!
We have the most popular corn stoves on the market. The St Croix Corn Stoves are
the ones to get. We have several breakthroughs you need to hear about. We have
eliminated the need for continual shutdown cleanings. Instead of weekly or more
they are now only several times a winter. We can burn binnable moisture corn
which is 15% other corn stoves need 11-12% moisture corn which is hard to find
and expensive. We can handle corn that is not perfectly screened and super
clean. And the Manuel air adjustments for each setting is gone! Also the black
soot buildups in the stove, in the pipe, and outside your house have been
virtually eliminated.
There are 5 variables with corn that affect burning the St Croix Sure Fire
Technology stoves can just about burn anything you throw at it with the most
tolerance to the variations. Moisture content; with our stoves if it's binnable
it's burnable, or in other words about 15% moisture, other corn stoves on the
market need super dry corn at about 11-12% max. This super dry corn is expensive
and hard to find and a hassle if you get corn that is above 12%. Corn density is
another factor this varies on maturity and variety of corn I haven't seen any
variation with density that the St Croix High Temperature Efficient Burn
couldn't handle. However I have seen some lightweight immature bad dirty corn
that other stoves couldn't burn that burnt fine in our stoves even on the lowest
setting. Other stoves struggle even with good corn on the low settings and
usually go out!
Wax content; some corn has wax in it, in the manual of other stoves it states do
not burn corn that has wax. I'm not sure how to tell if corn has wax but with
our hotter burn temperatures I have yet to find corn that will not burn; wax or
no wax. The higher the sugar the more heat we get, for instance sweet corn burns
hotter because is has more sugar, and also popcorn burns hotter for the same
reason. (and for your information cause I know your thinking about this right
now, it is usually to hot to pop, it just burns)
Sugar and starch contents vary with different brands of corn and our stove burns
so hot, hotter than any other stove on the market! With the heat we burn up all
the starch to the point that our ash is reduced to what I call the white clinker
which is almost void of not only starch but also carbon. This means that our
stoves burn cleaner turning more of the corn into heat. The St Croix Sure Fire
Technology efficient burn has less than 10% carbon usually around 3% where other
corn stoves on the market have as high as 80% carbon left in their ash! That
means more to heat up and less to clean up with our stove. Our stoves require
only about an ice cream pail weekly removal of ash where other stoves require
about a 5 gallon bucket mostly full! The And lastly fines, the amount of ground
up cob and stalk that in the corn. Other stoves need to have near perfect corn
with nothing but kernel. The St Croix stoves however have a near vertical auger
shaft instead of a horizontal. This means that the powder or fines do not as
quickly plug our system. Also the auger housing is angled instead of perfectly
spherical which means that we can chop through small openings some of the stalk
and cob. So bottom line we can burn dirtier and wetter corn, therefore virtually
all the corn that is on the market.
We can burn just about any type of corn out there where other corn stoves are
picky and can't burn some corn, we can burn stuff that I've seen farmers have to
throw away! People have been happy who have bought a St Croix Corn Stove and that is being
more and more confirmed as people keep coming saying that someone they know has
one and they recommend this brand as the one to get.
