BioBricks, $396 a ton??

I was looking into trying these and they finally came to long island. At this price you would have to be crazy. I have a feeling this guy will be sitting on them for a while. Some pretty outrageous claims too. See for yourself... http://longisland.craigslist.org/for/867392599.html

Well, there is a lot of that Wall Street and Boiler Room money on LI......

I would not be surprised if he sells out.

A buddy bought a pallet for $300 (boston area) in August. He gave me a few to burn and they put out some good heat and are of course cleaner and easier to deal with than wood. I'm sure people will pay up for that. Beware that some stove makers will void the warranty if you burn Bio Bricks in the stove. I know this is the case with Jotul. I guess the risk of over-firing is too high.

Yea, I wanted some to put in the garage for those real nasty days/nights where I dont want to bring in snowy wood.

I got mine for $265 a ton.... they're now $299 a ton at the same place on the South Shore (cash discount). The most I've ever put in at once is 5 bricks (it heats up my approx. 300 sqft bedroom and into the living room) and it puts out a ton of heat.

I bought a pallet of a similar product here in Canada. They are about 4-5 hours away so we organized a group buy and rented a 18-wheeler to drive them here and split the cost.

Was 160 a pallet, was 140 last year.


Mixing them with cord wood and seeing how it goes as it's my first year burning.
