Saw ECO BRICKS at Tractor Supply. Came in bundles of 8 and each log was shaped like a giant bar of soap.
After reading about them online I could not resist an experiment and decided to test them out for myself. They are denser than hardwood and more dry than most seasoned wood. They were easy to light and they burned with very little air being required (once they were going good). They produced nice secondaries and a lot of heat. Because they are so dry and require so little air to burn, they burned noticeably longer than would a load of similar sized split.
I bought several packs and have about 3 dozen bricks left. The plan is to use them as sort of "fire-starters on steroids" because they ignite so easily and of course double as fuel once burning.
They are not as economical as cordwood but I have not done any burn time tests to come up with an approximate bang for buck analysis.
