Yeah, I know. But this is a different company (BioBlocks) and I wanted to see if anyone has used these. They seem like a new, small company and I wanted to see if they are reliable. They are not a major company.

Haha, nice. Hopefully you won't be disappointed. If you need any tips on using them send me a PM.ckdeuce said:BeGreen said:Ask the company if you can get a trial box of them.
Oh my friend..... You are to late..... I still have that child mind..... I ordered the samples on Thursday and then confirmed a delivery of a full pallet load for this coming Monday. I will probably get the pallet BEFORE I get the samples..... I'm such a tool! Oh well....
jetmech said:Spirilis what kind of burn times with this product, also how many can you safley load.
Yeah the one good thing about these is their compactness. My 6 brick+slat of pallet wood .... barely takes up the width of the firebox, and maybe 1/2 the height with plenty of open space around the sides (since they're stacked at an angle, as a teepee). It's incredible how cavernous that Defiant is. With 16 bricks I laid 10 of them flat out on the ashes with a few up front stacked on their side, then my typical 6-brick teepee on top of that with a firestarter underneath (so the firestarter was sitting on the mass of 10 bricks but beneath the teepee of 6 bricks). My IR thermometer measured something around 120-125F temps on the living room walls opposite the stove after a couple hours. Lol!jetmech said:Thanks, before i got my intrepid i used a 1980s era defiant encore, it was a great stove. Im from central PA and might try some of these in my intrepid for kicks. Mine is a older one also with a cat. its hard to get extended burn times cause the firebox isnt very large. My old encore would hold a fire for a long time.

I emailed woodpellets.com about my ecobrix. I never got any reply. I had to move mine to a storage shed which is now surrounded by snow. I'm using them but am disgusted with the mess and difficulty to light. They do produce a good amount of creosote too. If you
have to chance getting a good batch of fuel, why even bother buying it at all? This certainly the first and last time I'll use these. I'll only burn wood after this year.

This thought about soaking up moisture is problem - Ohio is humidity central in summer

Pick up the phone and call them. They didn't answer my email either.

I'm not sure humidity would be a big issue. Throwing them in a swimming pool - that would be a problem. Leaving them out in the rain and/or snow..that would be a problem. But my guess is that they would soak up a bit of the humidity over the summer but not so much that they expand out and fall apart, which is what they do when they get wet.
