Corn Boiler Fun!

Wow, it's been a long time since I wrote a journal entry. This summer was just a blur with all the work and truthfully this will be my first chance to catch up. I'm actually going to clean my house for a change!

Business is good though. It's been an adventure getting the corn stoves to market and building a routine for placing these outdoor furnaces in their new homes as they are delivered. We're getting better at this and next year things should really come together.

EZBurn is a good business for me. I have the websites to maintain, http://www.ezburn.com, http://store.ezburn.com, and http://www.ezburn.net. And bugs to clean out of the software that monitors the stoves.

That software, called the EZBLogger, installs on our customer's computers. The stoves contain the monitors, which transmit serially to the computer in the house through the ground wires. This in turn sends the temperature monitoring data to our web site, where Dale can pull the reports to his cell phone. It's very cool.

Here's a video we took which shows one of the customized stoves EZBurn has installed. This one is filled from the top, more convenient for the dairy farmer who owns it.
