Here's a film loop I made of my Bio's burning.

Now that it's been consistantly cold, I've played with burning them. It took me a while to get the best placement for a long, hot burn. But I found it. If I push all the coals to the left side of my fire box, I can load up the right side with about 10 or so bricks. Then I rake the coals next to the bricks and let them take off. Once I'm ready to damper down, I put a layer of about 5 or 6 more bricks on top of the coals and let her go.

A couple times I even mixed some cord wood in. Wanna talk about some good secondary burn!! The bricks keep the fire box hot enough to kick it off quickly.

I'll try to keep the board up to date with my BioBrick experience.

RoF, I just re-read your post. I do have to emphatically agree with the wife comment. When I'm not at home at night (which is Sunday thru Thursday), it's very simple for the fiance to just pile the bricks on. She doesn't have to fuss with judging cord wood splits which equals less headache for me

I picked my bricks up for $225/ton.

Here's one of my trials using the BioBricks. I had coals left over from some mixed Bio/cordwood. I raked them to the side of the fire box and loaded up the other side with the bricks. Worked pretty well, and as you can see in the second picture, there's not much left as far as ash. But there was enough coals left to fire a small split. If I recall, this Bio load lasted about 6 hours or so.:
