Great idea, Dave. Thanks!

Gotta have an over-the-fence chat with my wood-burning neighbors...

Who own pick-em-up trucks...

it was probably time anyway.

I've been burning my bricks but not nearly as much as cord wood as I found a great sorce for good dry wood mostly ash and elm for $150/ cord so that's nearly $100 less than I paid for my pallet of eco bricks. I have found though that they are GREAT starters! I typically start the stove up in the morning (cold) with 4 bricks evenly spaced N/S with a couple medium splits ontop of them. With a few crumples of paper in the three gaps between the bricks lit the stove will be up and running in very short order. I can have it up to 600 deg within 1/2 an hour. Then I pretty much burn wood all day inless the fire needs a boost at which point I'll through a couple bricks in. This combination has been working very well for me.
