Do you need a special stove to burn Bio Bricks?

[buildingmaint]

I read an ad in todays paper of some dealer selling Bio Bricks , 1000 for $ 150.00 . Do you need a Bio Brick stove to burn these or will any wood stove do ? Also how big are they ? And how many would you have to buy to heat your house for a burn season ? How fast do they burn ?

That's a decent deal on BioBricks. I know the local shops around me sell them for $5-$7 for a package of 20. Not sure what the cost works out to be if you buy a pallet of them.

And you can burn them in a regular wood stove or an open fireplace or an outside firepit... its just compressed sawdust. As far as I know I've never heard of a stove made specifically for them.

Also they are about the size of two normal red bricks... maybe 10"x4" or something like that...

Great deal. I would think that most woodstoves should be able to burn them. That doesn't include pellet stoves . They are a little shorter than a regular brick. Their burn rate depends on how the stove is loaded. They work best by creating a mass of them that the fire has to work down and through.
