American Energy Systems Magnum Countryside
I have had the Countryside Baby Magnum for 5 years. Haven't had any significant problems, especially after they upgraded it to a higher output fan (std now). Runs constantly all winter and heats 100% of my MN house about 90% of the time. Uses 125 bushels of corn a year running constantly. It is in my basement and I never really run it above 2 o3 out of 5. It would be too warm. You need to thoroughly clean it at least 2-3 times a year for trouble free operation.

The heat is very warm and eventually radiates through the house giving a...

To be fair we were told it would burn any kind of grain.
Not true! It might work OK on woodchips but it is not very
user friendly. Maybe once we have had it for awhile it...
