So I have a corn forge at this time. First time starting is slow, but every one after the first gets easier. It seems the heat and consumption rate vary dependent on forge design...
My first design chewed through corn like mad, was hard to keep up with. The second design I used half the corn I did with the first design but got more burn time out of less fuel.
I'll be honest I am new to forging this year so these are just short term observations by an obvious rookie....
