The corn fed into the base of the combustion chamber helps efficient fuel consumption. Once the corn is burned, the residual ashes are dropped into the ash pan to keep the combustion chamber clean. The fuel feed system is controlled thermostatically for a constant temperature. This boiler system remains lit till the corn stored in the container lasts and it shuts down automatically when the container is empty.
