The average gas fireplace pilot uses about 21 ft3 (0.6 m3) of gas each day. Based on a natural gas fuel rate of $0.3292 per m3, a 20,000 BTU gas fireplace will cost $19 for every 100 hours of of operation. Home Energy Magazine: Fireplace Pilots Take Gas Use Sky HighSource:
Now that was a meaningless grab bag of stats. ELectric power stations based on coal are not 25% efficient. They are 40-42% efficient at maiking electricity, and they burn all the coal to ash, 99.99999% ends up burned. You say corn burns 98.4%...big losses. Corn stoves make zero electricity, they make heat.

A 20,000 BTU gas fireplace costs a homeowner roughly $19 to run for 100 hours (assuming a natural gas cost of .329ยข per m3). A wood-burning fireplace costs $200 to produce the same energy in the same 100 hours (assuming a cord of wood costs $200).
