    If so, what's your opinion on them? Any woodstock people use them in your stoves?

    Thanks! :D

    Also too, I'm wondering, what's the BTU's on one of them bricks? I also would wonder how it'd be to season a WS PH with those! How many it'd take to get it to like 200 and then 300 to engage the cat. That kinda stuff. :)

    I have used them when I was low on good firewood, they work ok but for my stove hard to control , got too hot too fast.

    I have some going to try a few this year, only used them once so far. I only mixed a couple in with a few splits and they did well. Do a search, and there was a thread started on them about a month ago. Mine are the ones sold at TSC.

    My brother is a dealer for this brand, I keep a few around just in case I get a chunk or two of wet wood (more so in the past than now) one or two bricks thrown in really helps to get the fire rolling. I personally have never tried to fire a load without any cordwood though...

    Right where I want to be.
    I was thinking of using some this winter, but can't find any yet.
    Neither of the 2 TSC stores "near" me haven't had them when I've gone.
    Still looking.

    I used them last winter when I ran out of wood. This year I plan to use them mixed with the wood I cut and split this summer for the winter.

    Yep, I've done that and the closest official dealers are at least an hour from me.
    I'll be heading to the big city again in a few days, so I'll check TSC again.

    I've not heard much negative on them. Probably could help a few folks if they are low on wood.
