Today I made a run over to my wood stove supplier, and we talked a bit about secondary burn and more particularly, about overnight burns.
I expressed a desire to continue to learn more about sustained overnight burns, given the firebox limitations (can't "N/S-E/W" build, due to the shallow nature of our stove, thus limiting the amount of wood I can fill the box with).
The owner of the company was the fella I was talking with, (he hadn't heard of Hearth.com, so I put in a plug for it, by the way), and he suggested BioBricks. He stated that if I was to put a couple of BioBricks on top of a good bed of glowing embers, and then load a big-A__ log on top of them, I'd not only get a full burn of the large piece of wood (apparently "sometimes the BIG logs tend NOT to burn all the way thru," or so HE says), but I'd get a LONGER burn, overnight.
Any thoughts? Any experience with BioBricks? Any alternate uses? I paid $7.00 for 20.
