Has anyone tried both? What are your conclusions? I am burning BioBricks and overall I am pretty happy with them. They have a tendency to smolder though...is it the same with EcoBricks?

DAKSY said:Your Jotul insert is designed & tested to burn naturally dried firewood ONLY.
cycloxer said:Okay, what if you are using the EUR inspection cover (as in the case of the Castine)? Also, this doesn't entirely make sense to me as the EUR cover permits more air to enter the firebox and that would only make your fire even hotter. I'm calling out BS that it is not safe to burn those products.

I am lost as I don't understand why Jotul US would purposely build stoves which are not suited to burn any kind of fuel.

I just started trying to re start my stove. I started @ 07:30 It's 0910 and after four kindles I have a flame about the size of two cigarette lighters. Big waste of money as
far as I'm concerned. Flame went out on fifth kindle now. I'm extremely disappointed with this product!

You're getting about what I'm getting for a burn. How are you arranging them in your stove? I've been setting up sort of a tee-pee front to back on end and leaving a good 4 to 6 inches between the front of the bricks and the door for expansion , and lighting them up in the little "A" gap underneath. When the crap gets high, I do a box full of cordwood to try and burn it down.
DAKSY said:OK, here's the lowdown from my Jotul Rep.
Bio-bricks, Eco-bricks or whatever you want to use IN THE USA
are strictly VERBOTEN & you WILL violate the terms of your warranty.
The UK or Norway or Denmark or wherever you live OUTSIDE of the WESTERN HEMISPHERE
has a different specified air to fuel mixture (READ: EPA/Clean Burn) & because of that mixture,
the compressed wood byproducts are approved in European countries.
He will send me the actual tech bulletin from JotulUS & I will attempt to
post it to this forum.
Bottom line: DO NOT BURN THESE PRODUCTS IN A JOTUL APPLIANCE!
