burning eco bricks in a jotul oslo

[not on the rug]

Hey all. I was just double checking to see if it's ok to burn eco bricks (redstone fuel blocks) in a jotul oslo. The brick packs say:
"Redstone™ Fuel Blocks are designed for use in all approved wood burning appliances, fire pits, campfires and bonfires.

• 100% recycled hardwood sawdust
• Kiln dried to 6% to 8% moisture content."

The oslo manual says not to burn any synthetic fuel or logs. The blocks are 100% wood. I'm not trying to play a semantics game, but do you guys consider thd eco bricks synthetic?

ordinarily I wouldn't even consider this, but I am going to run short on wood this year and I was thinking of mixing the eco bricks in with my remaining wood supply to get through the year. I only had 4 cords of wood for this year I'm down to my last 3/4 of a cord. I could attempt to get a cord or 2 somewhere, but it will not be seasoned and I will have to hand split it all down to make it small enough to get it to burn halfway decently. so I was thinking about the eco bricks.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks all

I would think you'd be fine as many on this site use them. I'm sure others will chime in but I've heard they work well in stoves to mix them with not-so dry wood but just put one or two in at a time as they burn hot. Nice profile name and pic dude.

I burn 1 ton of Eco Bricks a year. My dealer burns Hot Bricks in his stoves on a show room floor.

Mixing with wood should be fine. I would just watch the stove temps. You can damper down more with these due to very little creosote issues. They do react much differently then wood. I have been burning the envi 8s for for a while now. Burnt over 10 ten tons in my Regency and now I have my new Shelburne with a new learning curve.
Good luck and stay warm!
