    Dang! I’d use those up for sure. :thumbs::dex: That’s a new avenue for a “wood” score Brad. I think you now have it all covered. :salute:

    You got your truck back! :banana:

    I have a friend that burns only bricks like those. They burn and generate heat.

    Now, you just need a dry place to store them.

    They used to burn them at the house we stayed at in VT snowmobiling.
    He didn't want the mess from wood and liked the way they stack and take up a minimal amount of space.
    I honestly did not really pay attention other than they made heat.

    It will be interesting to see how they actually do work.

    That'll be fun to play/experiment with. I'd be curious to hear what you think of them vs black locust after the heating season. :handshake:

    Just catching up here. Those are cool! I’m very curious about them. I’d love to have a big stack of those in my storage room for those 3 foot snow storms, when everything is wet or buried.
