"Not for nothing, but I have to tell you that I am
madly in love with your product.  Heating oil
prices being what they are, many of us up
here in the Maine back country could not
prepay this year.  So.  Bio bricks from
Damariscotta Hardware.  They ignite. They
heat.  They are wonderful.  As you advertise,
no bugs, no splitting, no nothing except
hauling into one's garage.  (which, given the
1900 lbs in one pallet was not a small task
for an old lady, I might add)  Ash production
is about half what it is with my purchased
firewood.  Also "made in the US" is not to be
discounted among many of us.  Long may all
of you wave!"

"Dear Tom:

Thank you so much for creating and producing a great product. With high
expectations I tried BioBricks for the first time last night, and was
extremely pleased!

I find BioBricks to be superior to cordwood in many ways. Beyond the
environmental, storage and practical advantages (which are huge),
BioBricks provide a better, more consistent and predictable burn compared
to cordwood. I have much better control over my stove's temperature now,
and it stays consistent for hours on end. With cordwood there always
seemed to be a heat curve: it would burn increasingly hotter until the
wood broke down into coals, and then start cooling. To maintain a more
constant temperature, I needed to adjust the airflow periodically
throughout the burn time, which is impossible while sleeping! With
BioBricks this is unnecessary. Once I establish a well-burning fire and
stock the stove, I can close the damper and adjust the airflow ONCE for a
consistent temperature that lasts overnight and into the morning. The
BioBricks just keep giving off a constant glowing, moderate-flaming heat
until they crumble into ash.

I admit I was skeptical when I first heard about BioBricks. I did a lot of
reading before deciding to buy 2 pallets, and my main concern was the risk
of overfiring, something my stove's manufacturer warned about when using
biomass fuels. In my case this concern turns out to be unfounded (I use a
thermometer to measure stovetop and flue temperatures). The risk of
overfiring is greater with cordwood in my stove, depending on the size,
type and condition of the wood, and how I stock and adjust the stove.
BioBricks provide a uniformity of size, density and moisture that makes
them totally predictable, and they eliminate the need for adjusting the
stove in ways that increase the risk of overfiring.

Please feel free to use my words in a testimonial (you should have a
testimonials section on your website!). Best of luck to you and thanks
again for a great product!"

Dear Tom,
We can't thank you enough for selling your biobricks to us.  My husband is a COPD patient and struggles constantly with
breathing.  We have electric heat which is very expensive.  We also have a wood stove but the wood smoke is hazardous to his
health.  The biobricks are the best thing that has happened to us!  They heat our home comfortably, safely and we have saved
a ton of money on heating this year.  With everyone concerned about our ecology these days we are sure your product will be a
Godsend to everyone.  Thank you again.
