Don't mean to rain on your parade regarding "Liberty Bricks"......but I have a few questions.Usually when someone reinvents the wheel,we find some hidden drawbacks.First of all.....how are they better for the enviroment? They still cut trees,then a great deal of fossil fuel is used to process,compress,wrap and ship them.And they still burn the same as cord wood.
My guess is that they cast a much larger carbon footprint than conventional hardwood.
The reason they are cheaper is because they are using construction scraps which are not quality hardwood.
Also.....what kind of binder or glue holds them together?
Just like ethanol production....sounds all fuzzy until you find out that it takes two gallons of fossil fuel to produce one of ethanol.
I burn a lot of wood but need a lot more information before I throw one of those logs in my stove.
