• BioBricks from BioPellet, LLC are a very dry all wood product.
• Use only in well maintained stove or fireplace.
• Control air flow to prevent overheating and extend burn times.
• BioBricks grow slightly when burned.
• Do not stack near glass or top lid of stove.
• Do not overfill.

Firestart:

Build a Teepee with 4 briquettes around newsprint or fire sticks and establish a strong burn. This is the first step in firing any type of wood stove or fireplace fire.

Burning BioBricks® in stove with rear combustion chamber:

• Start with a TeePee.
• Establish strong burn.
• Push coals into mouth of rear combustion chamber covering it by as much as 2/3rds.
• Build a wall of bricks in front and over coals, packing bricks tight together and laying them flat as much as possible.
• Stay behind fire irons with fuel.  
• Stoke fire by leaving door cracked.
• Once fire is going well close damper to direct air flow through mouth of rear combustion chamber.

Burning BioBricks in Catalytic stove or stove with combustion air tubes in firebox:

• Start Teepee in back corner of firebox and establish strong burn.
• Build wall in front of and over coal bed, laying BioBricks flat and tight together.
• Stoke fire by leaving door cracked. Once fire is going well adjust damper. You should see good flame in the firebox and very little smoke in chimney.
• Always maintain some flame in the firebox.
• You need to burn the smoke (with flame) in order to extract heat from the wood.
• You should see little or no smoke in the chimney.
