One pallet of BioBricks® delivers the same heat as a full cord of wood
BioBricks produce 1/2 the particulates (smoke) compared with good cordwood:
58% reduction in particulate emissions:

"Replacing normal firewood with [densified wood] firelogs can be an effective means of
reducing pollutant emissions from existing fireplaces...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%"

Woodstove Emissions Through the Use of Manufactured Firelogs
- BioBricks are ideally sized for wood stoves. Packing density is optimized. This
high density fuel extends your burn times greatly. - 100% wood, no artificial binders
- Cost effective, 1 lb of BioBricks equals 1.7 lbs of cordwood
- Environmentally friendly using our renewable resources
- Clean burning – minimal smoke, creosote and ash
- Lights with newspaper, no mess, no chopping, no bugs
- Easy to handle 38 – 42 lb packs with 50 packs per pallet
- Lessens our dependence on foreign oil
- Safely and easily stores inside or out (6 mil UV pallet cover)
- Pallet size approximately 4x4x3 and is easily stackable
- Average burn time of 12 hours per stove fill
- Uniformity in size, density and moisture ensures predictable burning each time
