They are claiming ultra-high density like Homefire Prest-Logs and NIELs. If so that would be another option for folks in the CT, MA area. Wonder what a pallet load goes for?
Please let us know how they burn. Look for how well they keep their shape as they burn down, how much heat they put out and how long they burn for.

You know they don't have the weight on the box. That's the first thing I looked for. I'll weight them now that they're in the house. Niels are 8lb.

Yea, I've got to order some Niels. Got 60 last year, worked out well. I chop them in half burn them NS.

I think they went up in price a little at the place I got them last year (I think you did too), they're $369 for a pallet of 240, about $1.53 each.

Looks like it says 68,000 btu per log.
All wood is around 8400 btu/pound,I think so anyways.
So I guess about 8 lbs/log. Pricey per btu if you do the math. NG is prolly cheaper ,but I hate doing math..lol.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but does anyone know how these compare to biobricks in terms of price per BTU?

I figured it out one time and they were more bang for the buck, don't know what I did with my figures though.
BB's are cheaper, but I don't like how they mush up when burned. And they don't burn as long lb for lb. They also produce a look of white whispy ash that likes to fly out when reloading.
Thanks for the update and pics. They seem to hold together well throughout the burn. That is a sign of good high compression.

Go by the pound, not by the log. All of these dried and compressed products will yield close to 8600 BTU/lb. Makes it a lot easier to compare.
Density of compression has a lot to do with the quality of the log which equates to weight if one is talking about the same length log. So if one goes by the weight per xx inch log, yes, then that helps with selecting a good one.
I notice these seem to work better with more air- I know, what doesn't. My older smaller regency burns them with active flames than my newer morso. I bust them in half and place NS with some uglies on top and kindling in between
