Convenience
Firewood can be a lot of work even if you do not cut, split, haul, and stack it all on your own. Purchasing firewood typically results in a pile of wood that requires stacking and seasoning. Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks are manufactured to a consistent size which makes stacking easy and more efficient because they take up less space than firewood equal in weight. In addition, Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks are kiln dried to eliminate the need for seasoning before burning.
Natural
Both Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks are made from 100% kiln dried hardwood sawdust! There are no additives, chemicals, or waxes added to hold/bind Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks together. Lignin, a natural occurring substance in wood, holds both products together because of the heat generated during the compression process.
Cooking
Because Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks are 100% natural having no added chemicals, they are safe to use in a campfire / cooking type setting.
camping
Ensure you will have a warm burning campfire by bringing along Enviro-Bricks or envi 8 blocks in your camper or RV. Don't transport traditional firewood inside your RV leaving a huge mess with the possibility of bringing insects/bugs inside. Don't transport firewood outside of your RV where it will get wet when it rains. Don't buy firewood at a campground because you may get wet firewood. Instead, conveniently take Enviro-Bricks or envi 8 blocks with you in your camper or RV ensuring less mess and a great burning fire.
Less ash
After burning strictly Enviro-Bricks or envi 8 blocks, you will notice at least a 50% reduction in ash. This means less mess yet again because you will clean out your fireplace / wood burner less often.
recycle
Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks are made from 100% sawdust. The sawdust is a byproduct of a wood manufacturing facility. The sawdust is recycled into firewood by using 24,000 pounds of pressure. Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks burn cleaner than traditional cordwood or coal and are considered carbon neutral.
Similar to Wood Pellets
Another advantage of Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks is they are similar in concept to wood pellets. Wood pellets require a special pellet stove in order to be burnt. Prices for higher end pellet stoves plus installation costs can easily reach into the thousands of dollars. Plus, once a switch to a pellet stove is made, only pellets are able to be burnt in a pellet stove. Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks can be burnt in any traditional fireplace or wood burner. Finally, you can mix both products with traditional firewood or coal.
Consistency
A load of firewood is typically a mixture of species, split in various sizes, and air dried. This produces unexpected burn times and varying heat outputs. On the flip side, Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks are consistent because they are manufactured by a hydraulic press to a standard size and kiln dried. This produces an even heat output and near identical burn times brick after brick after brick!
Less Mess
Both Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks are wrapped in packages of six. Enviro-Bricks and envi 8 blocks do not leave a mess of bark and other scrap pieces like traditional firewood. Using either product will eliminate the possibility of mold and/or bugs like traditional firewood.
