Its carbon neutral, it targets the heat where I want it, and somehow it just feels warmer then forced air heat.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t love dealing with firewood. I don&#8217;t like storing it, trying to keep it dry, and I especially don&#8217;t like going outside when it is freezing cold to bring an armful inside.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where Eco Bricks come in. They are compressed hardwood sawdust bricks that you burn in a fireplace just like logs. They are kiln dried and bug free, so they can be stored inside. Since they are kiln dried, they always light easily.<\/p>\n<p>BTU wise, the company says that a pallet of Eco Bricks are equivalent to a full cord of hardwood firewood. Where I am, a pallet runs $235, which is roughly the same as a cord of firewood.<\/p>\n<p>Since these things are so dense and dry, some care must be taken not to over-fire your fireplace or stove. I&#8217;ve been using them for three winters, and haven&#8217;t had any problems yet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got about a half pallet in my basement queued up. I&#8217;m looking forward to my first fire of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy to store and use firewood substitute<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14437"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14437"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14439,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14437\/revisions\/14439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
