    Will the use of Eco Bricks/Blocks in them void their warranty ? (the all wood no glue ones that is)

    There manuals state to burn natural cordwood only. Anything else will void the warranty.

    There has been some talk about the subject on another forum, and the warranty thing was never mentioned by a certain executive from Blaze King. In fact, he said he burns NIELs almost exclusively in his King.

    I put six packs of Eco-Bricks in mine once last winter. That's 126 lbs of fuel :yes:

    Hi Jeff, I did read the posts on the other forum and thats what sorta brought the question up on here, Last winter I started to run a little shy on prime wood and had to get into some 1-2 year oak, locust so I bought 3 ton of Ecos to mix, worked great only had the gray/brown powder from cleaning the chimney like past years.
    Long story short, I am getting the cracks in the Summit on the outside corners of the door frame and PE said they are from Bios. I use two thermometers (pipe and stove surface) I don't torch my stoves, thats why I have 2 of them but honesty got me no where with them and welding on the exterior is out in my book. The dealer really feels bad and perturbed, I feel he has tried his best for me. Anyways, I want to replace it with a cat for long low burns and I was down to the Sirocco 30 or the IS. My stacks are back up to par and I have 2 ton of Ecos left over. :mad::( Guess I should have lied….lol

    Wow. I thought that problem was taken care of. Is it an older stove?

    That's pretty dirty. There are other, more obvious signs of overfire. Using that to get out of taking care of a known defect is wrong.

    Controlling those bricks isn't that difficult. They pack so tightly and have so little exposed surface.

    It is a 2009 model and the baffle, rails and other innards and exterior look great, the Bios are easy to control burn.

    Shame on PE, it's a known problem.
