A guy at work said he's going to try those bricks of compressed wood in his stove. I've seen them on sale by the case but never heard whether they're worth the price. Has anyone had any experience with them, and was it favorable?
Valhalla said:The wood / bio brick thing sounds like a repackaged "manufactured" fireplace grocery store log in another form. But, it is better than a cold room and stove, however a lot more expensive than any wood.
Now if I could just press my autumn leaves and grass cuttings into next years "bricks." Right now they go in the compost pile.
Do you remember the old newspaper log rollers of 35 years ago? Roll, soak with water, dry, dry some more ... then burn.

Nope. Biobrick are compressed wood using heat to get the particles to hold together. Manufactured logs use a waxy material to bind sawdust together. Its like comparing apples to hand grenades.
The newspaper rollers are still areound, but not really worth it.
