Re: Ethanol.....does BURNING FOOD in your gas tank really sound like a good idea to you?
No worse that farmers and other people in the midwest burning corn in their corn stoves when the price of natural gas and propane shot through the roof.
People have been burning corn and other consumables for centuries. You can burn corn stover too, and that is widely done in the midwest and Canada. Bale up the stover in a big round bale, stuff it into an outdoor biomass furnace and you’re done feeding your heat system for the entire day.
Corn stoves are like wood pellet stoves, only with a shaker to get the clinker to drop down.
