Eco-Bricks are pressed sawdust and is an
effective alternative to other fuels such as fuel
oil and coal. Unlike coal and
other fossil fuels that extract CO2 from the ground and deposit it into the
atmosphere when burnt, Eco Bricks are made from sawdust and are considered CO2
neutral because the trees they are manufactured from extract more CO2 from the
atmosphere than the logs emit when burnt for heat. As a matter of fact, Eco
Bricks produce 52% less particulate matter to the atmosphere than cordwood.
Eco-bricks are twice the density of cordwood and about the same energy density as coal with burn times significantly longer than cordwood.
Eco-bricks are manufactured from 100% kiln dried hardwood lumber sawdust and compressed with 24,000 lbs pressure making them twice as dense as cordwood.
Eco-bricks burn twice as clean as cordwood leaving ½ as much ash waste as cordwood. Eco Bricks are equally sized bricks and fit into wood burning stoves much better than cordwood.
With Eco-Bricks you have no worries of bugs, easier storage, much less mess
and makes use of scrap wood which is much more environmentally
friendly than cordwood or coal for fuel in wood burning stoves.
Eco Bricks are environmentally friendly as well. Eco-Bricks are considered carbon neutral for CO2 output because the CO2 emitted when burned is much less than the trees turn into oxygen while growing. Coal and other fuels extract CO2 from the earth and emit into the atmosphere having a negative environmental impact compared to Eco-Bricks
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many BTU,s?
A. 8000/lb
B. 29000/Brick
C. 16 million/ton
D. They will burn at different rates depending on your stove.
2. How much is 1 ton?
A. 1 skid 42" x 42"x 48"
B. Equals 1 cord of normal wood 4’X 4’X 96”
C. 1 package = 6 brick = 21 lbs. = 96 per ton
D. 1 brick = 3 ½ X 3 X 9 = 3.5 lbs.
1 package = 5 ¾ X 9 X 11 = 21lbs.
3. Are there any additives?
A. No - They are held together by 24000lb. of pressure
B. It is strictly wood and safe for cooking.
4. Are there any bugs?
A. NO- it all has been though a heat cycle of 140* or higher
B. It has a moisture content of 8 %.
5. Are there creosote or ash problems?
A. Ash content is less than .5%.
B. Creosote is from lack of heat and excess moisture, neither of which is found in Eco Brick.
