Buy Compressed Sawdust Bricks for Ecological Heat

Your environmentally conscious, easy to use, economical solution to winter heating. Wood stove owners can now enjoy the ease of clean burning, high heat, low polluting fuel just like wood pellet stoves.

Like Wood Pellets, Bricks are cheaper than fuel oil, less polluting and greenhouse gas neutral, recycling the C02 that the tree absorbed in its life.
*(Typical cordwood moisture content of 21% so as far as usable BTU's go, you'll receive as much as 1.5 times as much *heat value from one pallet of this product as you would from cordwood. All the heat released during the burning process of this firewood is goes into heating your home, not boiling off the water from the wood that is in the stove waiting to burn next, plus, most cord wood you buy isn't that great these days. You'll always have your share of Poplar, Grey Birch and other low BTU value woods in your load along with wet, punky wood and grit that produces no heat at all and even consumes heat when put into a fire because it's wet.

Bricks turn your wood stove into something as easy to use as a pellet stove, but you don't need electricity to run it!
The ECOBRIXs make a good alternative to pellets because they can be burned in any kind of stove.
Using Brix you can use a clean burning fuel without having to invest in a whole new stove.
Once you buy a pellet stove all you can burn is pellets and they require electricity for maximum efficiency!
Bricks are fashioned after Brown Coal Bricks burned in Europe for generations.

One ton/pallet of Bricks equals 16,000,000 BTU's

• 16,000,000 BTU's is 113 gallons of fuel oil
• 167 gallons of propane
• 158CCF of natural gas
• 4,778 kWh

Advantages of Bricks over Cordwood

One pallet of Bricks(TM) delivers the same heat as a full cord of wood and take up half the space.
No bugs, easier storage, less mess, makes use of leftover wood that used to be treated as waste
Bricks are ideally sized for wood stoves. Packing density is optimized. You can fill every corner of the stove with high density fuel and extend your burn times greatly.
Bricks produce 1/2 the particulates (smoke) compared with good cordwood:
Replacing normal firewood with [densified wood] firelogs can be an effective means of reducing pollutant emissions from existing fireplaces...
One pallet of Bricks equals one cord of regular cord wood and takes up half the space
Bricks are clean of bugs (dead & alive!) bark, debris and dirt, 100% wood with very little ash (typically below 1%) and low moisture content -> less than half the moisture content of cordwood -> much more heat makes it into your house instead of converting water into steam which is lost up the chimney.

Twice the density of cordwood – about the same energy density as coal - extending burn-times by more than 2.5x .
Consistent size means more complete combustion
No sparks, pops and very low smoke
20 Brick packs (approximately 40 lb) at an economical price - cheaper than oil and much less mess and hassle than cordwood
Pressed wood firelogs offer the potential to lower woodstove and fireplace emissions."

Houston, James T., 1999, Louisiana State University Master's Thesis, The Development of a Firelog With Improved Air Emissions

Results show an average reduction of 52% in [Particulate Matter] grams per hour emissions overall...[Carbon Monoxide] emissions were more modestly reduced by 27%, and [Volatile Organic Compounds] were reduced 39%." "...even the worst performing firelog had only 29% of the worst wood fuel emissions and 74% of the cleanest wood fuel."
Barnett, Bighouse, 1992, OMNI Environmental Services, Inc., In-Home Demonstration of the Reduction of Woodstove Emissions from the Use of Densified Logs

"The overall average PM [particulate emissions] for all 9 stoves using cordwood were 24 g/hr. Using [densified logs] the emissions averaged 12 g/hr for an average reduction of 52%"
Hayden, Braaten, 1991, ERL/CANMET, Ottawa Ontario, Reduction of Fireplace and Woodstove Emissions Through the Use of Manufactured Firelogs

Less polluting - Burning Biomass recycles carbon in the atmosphere. Oil, gas and coal pull it from the ground (where it has been for millions of years) and put it in the air - an average house creates 5 tons of new carbon per year burning fuel oil.
