Wow, I just realized the last time I posted on this blog was in April when we had been at Emory University’s Earth Day Festival.
The new Corn Stove season is picking up and such a few changes have happened.
Wheat pellets are no longer being carried by Earth in Hand. All of the links pointing to the Wheat pellet page have been taken down.
CornGlo continues to be one of the Corn Stove Manufacturers that Earth in Hand continues to work with closely, because the quality of the stoves made by CornGlo is a priority. Look for updates about CornGlo’s stoves for the 2008 season on this blog as CornGlo corn stove updates are received.
Earth in Hand also will be carrying stoves from Buckner Corn Stoves and Caneco. Updates for these Corn Burning Stove manufacturers will also be forthcoming.
We had a really good time cooking veggie burgers and dogs for the Emory University Fair visitors. We initially got to the
site after a bit of confusion, and then had to wait a bit until we got power for the grill. The bands that were playing for the festival were using all the available lines. But once we got juice and fire(our hosts had to find us a flame) we were up and cooking with the corn grill in a matter of minutes.
Lizzie is pictured here cooking on the corn grill. I had started out cooking, but with her short order cooking experience, it just pained her too much to watch me cook. I ended up supplying her with rolls and meat as well as giving my spiel to any one who would listen.
We all ended up with a bad case of sunburn, which would be peeling for the next week or so. I was needing a good base coat for my pale bald head any way.
In addition to cooking a couple hundred burgers and dogs on the corn grill, we got to visit with Lizzie’s brother, who is an Emory Law School Alumni who lives in Atlanta, and has a new baby that Lizzie and I have been meaning to visit. We look forward to next years Earthday festival.

We recieved an invitation to have our grill at Emory University’s Earth Day festival on April 13th. Emory University is
located in Atlanta, GA, which is a good 12 hour ride from PA. But what the heck, any opportunity with in reason to show off our corn grill will be entertained. Besides we have some family and friends that we had been meaning to visit, so this gives us the excuse we needed.
This coming Friday we will pick up our old corn grill, which is a late model corn grill, nothing like the current corn grill models that are available from Buckner. Buckner corn stoves, which currently has two models, one a black corn grill and the other a stainless steel corn grill, are high quality cooking machines designed to last for years.
Corn grills are a really cool way to cook food. I would especially like to use the corn grill at a tail gaiting party and see all the looks I get when people find out I am using a corn grill.
Pennsylvania Spring Home Show will be one of two events that Earthinhand will be at during the February 16-18th weekend. First they will have two corn burning stove booths at the Pennsylvania Spring Home Show, which will be hosted by Osborne-Jenks Productions at the Allentown Fair Grounds. Stop on in and say hello to John and the gang. If you bring a can of food to donate to the food drive, you will receive a dollar off of admission. The second event will be at the Palmer Mall in Palmer township outside of Easton, Pa which will be hosting the event known as Adventures in Agriculture.
So if you are a bit curious and would like to get more info on corn stoves, come on out to either location. The PA Spring Home Show will be the only show that will have a functioning corn burning stove though.
Corn Stoves from CornGlo are currently on sale. Currently can save up to 25% off of CornGlo models. For more specific prices contact them via there website. 
Made it up to farm last weekend after a hockey game in the Poconos. I was not expecting all the changes that have taken place since my last visit.
Coming from the back side I saw the incomplete structure, and thought I was mislead. This is however to be a new workshop bay. The new showroom however is located down under the actual barn, next to the area where the corn is cleaned and stored.
The showroom currently has room for three stoves, but one was sold, so the vent pipes are sticking out were it should be. There is also a corn grill to the right side of the door way. Love the mural that was done by a friend of Wendy, an Earthinhand employee. The Corn Stove showroom video is not the most professional, but it does show the whole showroom. Two corn stoves are present along with a corn grill. Very impressive little corn stove showroom.
Just wrote a blog post, Corn Stoves: An Alternative for Winter Heat on a Home improvement blog that encourages participation of readers that have some sort of home improvement specialty such as carpentry, landscaping, etc.
Currently being somewhat of a specialist concerning corn stoves, that was the subject of my first post. As time permits, I may add some other content about other areas that I have a certain expertise greater than a novice. If you happen to feel you have something note worthy to contribute, please check out the blog.
The Corn Stove showroom is almost complete. There will be a grand opening for the show room, to include blog posting, and pictures. I am also sure there will be a grand opening special. I just talked with John, and he says the show room is coming along splendidly and should be ready for the upcoming heating season. The old show room consisted of corn stoves in various locations of Earthinhand to include one in the office and another in the workshop. These shall continue to be operational, but customers will get to check out the stoves with out having to witness the working of Earth-in-Hand Landscape Design, which is the primary business of John Mills. The corn stove dealership has been active for the past 10 years, but has really taken off in the past two years.
Added a Wheat Pellets page to Earth-in-Hand Corn Stoves site. Also added link to this blog, as this will become the primary blog for Earthinhandcornstoves.com. It took a bit longer than I had anticipated, but it is up and running. Also arranged to be able to track the site statistics on Google analytics. As a wise person once said, it is important to know the score.
While updating the site, I also checked on the rankings and noticed that an interview that John did with Channel 69, is online and viewable through Real Player. See Corn Stoves Alternative Heating for the Interview.
