WHAT ARE
BIO BLOCKS?

BIO BLOCK Firelogs are made of 100% recycled, kiln-dried hardwood sawdust. Additional chemicals, or additives, are not necessary because wood already contains lignin. This functions as a natural binder when sawdust is compacted under high pressure. Compressed sawdust blocks produce minimal smoke, ash and creosote. Like traditional firewood, compressed firelogs can be used in any wood-burning appliance. BIO BLOCKS are environmentally friendly, providing a clean, convenient alternative to traditional firewood.

I’ve found that BIO BLOCKS burn hotter, better and have less creosote then other sawdust blocks that I’ve tried.

I build a fire often with my girls. What I love about BIO BLOCKS is that I can do a double decker fire. It has a consistent burn and is an amazing product. I’ve tried tons of products and nothing works like BIO BLOCKS!

Are BIO BLOCKS economical to use for home heating?
  • You will receive what you pay for every time. There are always 88 packs of BIO BLOCKS on a pallet, which equals one ton. The measurements of firewood can be questionable if sold in quantities less than one cord.
  • BIO BLOCKS have a moisture content of 8.5% according to research at the University of Buffalo in New York. This accounts for the long, hot burn of BIO BLOCKS. Firewood is considered dry at 20%.
  • One ton of BIO BLOCKS = 1 1/2 cords of firewood. The consistent size, low moisture, tight compression and blend of kiln-dried hardwoods provides approximately 14 – 18 Mil BTU’s per ton.
  • BIO BLOCKS provide a warm, even heat. Never worry about what the thermostat is set at again!

Founded in 2000, by Gary and Victoria Miller, as a wholesale, millwork manufacturing company. After more than a decade of business, our desire to find a creative use for sawdust, our by-product at the time, and an interest in alternative energy, led to the purchase of our first wood briquetting machine.
