Lots of good info on here concerning cost of using biobricks vs. real wood and it seems that a lot (maybe most?)of stove manufactucurers dont "warranty" their stoves for the use of biobricks and this sounds like to me it is mostly due to testing and/or the cost of testing stoves to use the biobricks. I also understand that biobricks (or whatever brand) burn hotter and you need to be careful not to overheat the stove. It has been suggested to me that if I want to use them then you want to start with two and see how hot they get the stove...I guess bottom line is they work fine in stoves, cost more then real wood but offer some conveinence (less mess and work) but what are your feelings/thoughts about how the bio's actually burn in your woodstove and do you get the same Feel/Look from the fire as real wood??
Trying to decide between pellet stove vs. woodstove or maybe one of them up stairs and the other downstairs (split-level home) but then we have a smaller house and not sure i want to get into storing pellets and real wood but I do like the mechanical simlicity of wood stove over pellet stove and right now I am leaning towards the wood stove. With that in mind I am quite interested in some sort of bio brick.
Thanks for the thoughts from much more experience people than I...
