BioBricks grow slightly when burning, Do Not Pack too Closely to Glass or Top Lid.
Always maintain some flame in the firebox. You need to burn the smoke ( with flame) in
order to extract heat from the wood. You should see little or no smoke in the chimney.
Instructions
How To Burn Your BioBricks(R)
Firestart:
Build a Teepee with 4 briquettes around
newsprint or fire sticks and establish a strong
burn. This is the first step in firing any type of
wood stove or fireplace fire.
CAUTION:
BioBricks are a very dry all wood product. Use only
in well maintained stove or fireplace and control air
flow to prevent overheating and extend burn times.
BioBricks grow slightly when burned, Do Not Stack
Near Glass or Top Lid of Stove
Do Not Overfill
Burning BioBricks in stove with
rear combustion chamber:
Start with a TeePee. Establish strong burn.
Push coals into mouth of rear combustion
chamber covering it by as much as 2/3rds.
Build a wall of bricks in front and over coals,
packing bricks tight together and laying them
flat as much as possible. Stay behind fire
irons with fuel.
Stoke fire by leaving door cracked. Once fire
is going well close damper to direct air flow
through mouth of rear combustion chamber.
Burning BioBricks in Catalytic stove or stove
with combustion air tubes in firebox:
Start Teepee in back corner of firebox and establish strong burn.
Build wall in front of and over coal bed, laying BioBricks flat and
tight together.
Stoke fire by leaving door cracked. Once fire is going well adjust
damper. You should see good flame in the firebox and very little
smoke in chimney.
