anyone know of a source in Maine for biobricks or enviblocks?

Has to be delivered. I found one place in Vermont but they want $500.00 pallet-delivered. I'll fire up the furnace before I pay that much. I've tried everywhere I can think of. Anyone? :cheese:

Damariscotta Hardware in Damariscotta has been selling Biobricks for $300 per pallet. They do deliver, but there is an extra per mile charge. Whether they have any left, I'm not sure. All the Finest Hearth stores - Yarmouth, Topsham and other locations - carry the product but do not offer delivery as far as I know. Again, I dn't know if they currently have any available. There are also plans in the works for a Biobick factory in Maine - possibly Augusta. If this should happen, availability and price should improve.

Is there a dealer for these in Maine with some in stock ? I would like to avoid a long drive if possible.

Thanks for any help, Frank

There is a lady in South portland who has 2 ton? of the bio bricks that she is trying to get rid of. She is listed in either uncle henrys or craigs list under a FIREWOOD search. She said they just aren't working out for her. Finest hearth and home in Portland and Yarmouth are dealers. I don't know what their availability is though.

Big Fish Fence,Sanford 490-1358. Purchased 2 ton last year,for less $ than Finest.

I have called big fish a few times , they answered once and said they are out of stock, finest hearth said they are out and will not have any more this season. Thanks for the tip on craigslist.

Big Fish, 5 months ago $245 per ton, had plenty. Today $500 per to and have non, crazy. I can hear those boys now,if only we did not sell @ $245. Don

What is the cost of Bio Bric per ton in Biddeford at this time?

When I called them a month or so ago they wanted $400 a ton for Bio bricks, the Envi's were cheaper at around the 300 dollar range.

the bio bricks they have are from canada and the freight is the biggest killer but the envi blocks is the better product

He has bricks available
Goodluck
Stay warm

Any idea on how a ton of biobricks compares to cord wood......ie: 1 ton = 2 cord?

I do know that a ton of Envi Blocks are compares to a cord of silver maple at a 20% moisture content. The moisture content of envi blocks are around 5 % moisture

Even at $250.00 per ton for Bio Bric, I will burn dry hardwood at $225.00 per cord

well these products arent for everyone but the benefit is that there are no bugs, very little moisture and very little creasote

Thank you!

Yes,but how much $$ would you give for them?

I hear ya,250 is not a bad number but the crooks around here want $400 to $500 per ton now,sinful. I went through a couple tons
two seasons ago and my wife and I enjoyed the product. But since then these prices have put a bad taste in my mouth. Don

call O'Hara ice they have envi blocks for 325 a ton

I think I'll stick with wood for now.

But as I get older/slower/lazier, I can foresee myself burning these.
