Was wondering if anyone can share some knowledge/experience with burning wood bricks instead of regular split cord firewood. I just was surfing craigslists and a semi-local sawmill is selling a pallet of wood bricks (claims to be equiv. to 4 face cord) for just 20 dollars more than what I can pay for 4 face cord/rick delivered. They claim it gives the same or better btu, cleaner (no mold), less storage space and much easier to handle. Could just set a new pallet on the deck every time I need some more wood with the tractor.
My main concern is it just doesn't seem compressed sawdust that size of a masonry brick would be able to give off the same btu and burn as long as say a split 16" log. But than again I wouldn't think a wood pellet would give off much heat either but they say that because of it's density it last as long or longer than regular mother nature firewood.
I don't know anybody who burns these things or pellets so any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
