Bixby Energy is an alternative energy company dedicated to developing a practical, sustainable solution to the world’s energy needs. Of all the alternative energy resources available, biomass has the greatest potential to provide that solution, not only quickly but economically, while creating as many as 45,000 jobs in rural North America. More than any other resource, biomass is capable of simultaneously addressing our energy, environmental and economic needs. Biomass is the reliable alternative fuel of the future.












Corn and Multi-fuel stoves

Corn and Multi-fuel Stoves

 

The American Harvest will burn corn, wood and grass pellets - the key to this ability is the agitator. The stainless steel agitator mashes hard ash that forms with corn and grass pellets - giving up to 12 hours of continuous burning.

 

Corn

Corn is often less expensive than wood pellets, and has less dust when you load your stove. Corn is widely available in rural areas - most seed & feed stores sell corn. Corn is higher in ash and forms hard ash or clinkers that need more firebox cleaning than wood pellets.

Grass Pellets

Although most fuel pellets are currently made from wood they can also be made from fast growing switchgrass. Pellets made from grass are the ideal renewable energy crop, since switchgrass grows on marginal farmland. The energy payback on pellet fuel is up to 14:1. For every one unit of energy used to grow, harvest and pelletize the grass, 14 units of heat energy are produced.

A better way to heat your home.


The Bixby MaxFire™ Stove provides the ultimate in comfortable, economical heating and sets a new standard for design, quality and performance.


Biomass, or plant material, is a readily-available, renewable energy source. Burning biomass instead of fossil fuels saves money, enhances your energy security and reduces greenhouse gas emissions while supporting farmers.


Bixby developed MaxYield™ technology (patent pending) that drives air into the burn pot as a powerful vortex to increase oxygen supply and achieve an amazing 99.7% combustion effi ciency.


For superior biomass technology and a better-engineered, better-built stove, count on the biomass leader. Count on Bixby.
