Anybody heard of Hot Bricks from Waterbury CT.--I just saw some around here. They are 8 bricks for $4.99 and say they have no wax or additives--they look a lot like BioBricks but the dealer is closer to my house.

The biobricks folks sell the entire machines - so chances are it's made in a similar fashion!
It all comes down to the weight you are getting for your money. A lb of wood is a lb of wood - so compare it (by the ton) and see if it makes sense.

I was asking because there was a discussion a few days ago about people's experience with the relative quality of various kinds of compressed wood and some were not so good
OK

It all depends on the type of wood they are getting. I know that area of Waterbury and if I remember correctly there is a hardwood floor factory over there. That could be were they are getting the product.

Exactly. A pound of dry wood provides about 8600 BTU regardless of species, so you can pretty much compare prices by the pound. As long as they are 100% wood products. As you know, avoid logs with wax for stove use.
