So I have a feeling I MAY end up short on wood this year. Finding true seasoned wood seems is a PITA. Next year I'm good on wood, but I've got to get through this year first. I've still got quite a bit, but worrying about not being able to heat my house is the last thing I want to have things come down to. I do have a buttload of pallets to cut up yet... But I want to be safe.
EZ Bricks are 195/ton.

"seasoned" firewood in my area is $350-450 a cord. The only truely seasoned wood comes from real firewood vendors, which they charge an arm and a leg for... Usually $125 for 1/3 of a cord. It's not really even all that great. I can get Ash for that price, but it's still 20% MC they claim.
Perhaps I'm better off going with compressed bricks if I run in to a shortage? I'm thinking a ton of EZ Bricks would probably be somewhere about the same as 1/3 cord real wood. Figure in the moisture weight of wood and probably a slight bit in the bricks... But my main concern is does anyone know how well these will burn in a cat stove? Will it burn just like regular wood? I know it's still wood... But I don't know if it smokes the same as regular wood.
Sorry if I'm not making any sense... I know cat stoves are a little different than tube style. I dropped the manufacturer an email as well...
