For each one percent increase in moisture content above 15.5% there will be a corresponding reduction of about 90 BTU of heat per pound of corn;Some corn stove manufacturers will recommend 'an ideal' moisture content. Please refer to your corn stove owner's manual for specific detail, and always follow your corn stove manufacturers recommendations;Corn should be clean and free of debris (cob pieces or other foreign material) as this will cause heat loss and can impede proper operation.
