Ecobricks if you can find them-tractor supply carries them. Or these, I haven't tried them yet, waiting for my local countrymax to get their next shipment in (a wood stove pizza place just bought them out this week, right before I found out they carried them): http://usrecycledwoodproducts.com/

The TSC in Ontario and Canandaigua had some the last time we asked ours, but that's a bit too far of a drive for us.

I live in Brockport but I go out to Sodus ..even Clyde once a month or so.
I'm hoping the Brockport store has some..kinda handy to have...actually fun to experiment (play) with.lol
 
There's a few different varieties out there, but it's mostly a geographic locality problem. I use the US Recycled Wood Products' WoodBrickFuel but it's available from several dealers around here (they're based out of the Lancaster PA area), I also use Eco Energy Fuel Blocks (larger 7-8lb all white & red oak) that I get from a dealer here in town where I work but those guys are based in northern Kentucky. IIRC there's a company making them in eastern Ohio too? Then there's a variety of north-eastern ones, biobricks, envi blocks, etc... Out west in Idaho there's the Energy Logs, and IIRC in Oregon there's a company making "Bear Mountain Bricks".
 
How do you like the Wood Brick fuel ones? DH is using the Eco Bricks like no tomorrow all of a sudden, packing the stove like it's 20 instead of 30 this morning (I think he had 5 or 6 of them in there!!) so we might need to pick some of those up to use rather than experiment with like I had planned (to see which we would buy for next season).
