do they burn like logs?

I’d probably try them, even at that price ... but no one in my area (york,pa) carries them.

JP, I posted a test of the biobricks in the Wiki section. Because one can pack them tightly in a stove they can burn a bit slower a more consistently than logs. Here’s a link:

I’ve used 2 tons of Bios in my burning. I like them and use them to supplement my cord wood. For the stop and go fires, they’re REALLY nice!! Fast starting and give you a good base to build off of.

Gonna probably pick up another ton or so here soon. It’s great cause they’re right down the street smile

Biopellet,
I’m in NH and would like to purchase a pallet.  Unfortunately Fireplace Village is the only dealer in my area of NH and they haven’t received their shipment yet(not due until September/October).  Do you have any suggestions for me?  Just wait til October?

Thanks,
Y

Anyone know of any place in Wisconsin area where these BIO bricks or logs are available? I can only find east or west coast suppliers.

What part of NH are you in?  Have you seen my website under wheretobuy?

I will be at New England Wood Pellet this weekend in Jaffery - they are having a biomass open house…

Biopellet,
Thanks for your quick response.  I have been to the website.  I’m in New Boston(close to Manchester).  Unfortunately, all of your dealers in the southern part of the state(NH) are serviced by differnt branches of the same company, Fireplace Village.  Again, in speaking with them they indicated they won’t be stocking any biobricks until September/October.  I hate waiting that long to buy my fuel since prices tend to rise going into the heating season.

Thanks,
Y

If you come to Jaffery this weekend I’ll give you some product.  If you take a pack or two to Tristate in Manchester, maybe we can interets him in carrying the product.

BioPellet,
I am on the south shore.  The closest location to me seems to be Saugus which is on the other side of Boston.  I figure between the cost of gas and the wear and tear on the truck that will add about $20.00 to the cost of whatever I buy. 

Will you have any retailers in the Quincy area any time soon?
Thanks,
~Cath

I just sent a truckload of BioBricks(tm) to south shore pellet......talk to Ken 1-617-590-1788

I have special interest in selling into York PA, can you please contact Sherlie Neibert, wood energy concepts and tell her you want to buy BioBricks(tm)?

I wish I had the time but I’m booked this weekend.  If I told my wife I was taking a 2 hour drive Saturday, by the time I got back the locks would be changed.
