Bio Products

Try before you buy.

Whether you're looking for alternative fuel as your primary heat source, or for the occasional evening fire to take the chill off, Southern Maine Renewable Fuels has personally tested several varieties of Bio Products for your woodstove or fireplace. BioBricks, Canawick Hardwood Bricks, Cozy Logs, Envi Blocks, Home Fire Prest Logs and RioLogs are manufactured from recycled sawdust and shavings, and offer the following advantages:

  • Less mess - No bark, dirt or bugs.
  • More heat - Higher density and a low moisture content translates into greater BTU's per pound.
  • More convenient - Easier to store. One pallet occupies less than half the space of a cord of wood.
  • Burns cleaner - No chemicals, less ash, less creosote and fewer particle emissions than cordwood.

Note: These Bio Products are intended for use only in a properly maintained and ventilated woodstove or fireplace. Perform an initial test with your own stove by burning two or three BioBricks, Canawick Hardwood Bricks, Cozy Logs or RioLogs at one time.
