    I dunno...kinda hard for me to justify buying compressed sawdust...I know what is in that cherry log that I just split.

    It never fails that the manufacturers dump in all kinds of filler wood and then add some of the flavor wood that they are selling it as. I'm skeptical that it's going to replace wood in my arsenal.

      I went to Mojo Bricks website and could not find any info on cost, what kind of pricing do you offer?

        MossyMo,
        If you click into their webstore, they've got pricing.

            I'm sure they are good, and let me be clear...I hope you sell the shit outta them and can bank enough coin to retire early.

            I'm just saying that things aren't always what they are marketed as. Same with the compressed sawdust pellet industry. That hickory pellet is probably more oak or alder than hickory. The fact that they don't say what is in the MOJO is a flag for me. The mild aroma also may mean that it is more oak than apple or cherry or whatever flavor. In my book, oak is for heat, the flavor woods are for flavor. Check out this discussion and the posts by Tjohnson...he has established a great reputation as a knowledgeable source of info on the compressed wood market.

              I have spoken with Todd at great length about the whole deal with this stuff. I greatly appreciate your imput and views on it all and I was skeptical at first as well. His Oak,Cherry,Hickory and Maple is all 100% same species.I will continue to put it though its pases on many diffrent smoker throught the seeson.

                Smokenit, I didn't mean to be all "Debbie Downer" about this...In fact I will be glad to purchase some and test it out in my insulated cabinet once you get a supply in. I'm all about a good experiment in the name of tasty brisket, and I'd be happy to give an unbiased and honest assessment. let me know when you get some in...Might be the cats meow in my smaller cabinet...just use chunks in that for flavor wood.

                  dana it quite specifically states:
                  All-natural, 100% specific species hardwood, compressed, cut and made into easy to use blocks.
                  The first recycled cooking wood that is contributing to making your food taste great!
                  No coal, fillers or chemicals! NONE - ZERO ZIP- NO BINDER means better tasting bbq!
                  That shit is legally binding.

                  so no fillers or glue.
                  hell with a strong enough pneumatic ram you don't need that crap anyway.
                  Client of mine with a huge woodworking shop makes compressed fire bricks out of their waste sawdust. Smart little machine that does it. And it's just highly compressed sawdust.
                  Unfortunately it tends to be oak but with some mixed exotic woods in their so no good for smoking with.

                  So how big are these blocks and how long does each one burn.
                  Looking at the site it's $8.99 for 12 blocks.
                  That looks pretty expensive to me they'd need to smoke for a helluva long time to justify that kind of cost.

                    I've bolded a few things that strike me as amusing from their website.


                    AN EARTH FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE FOR COOKING OR HEATING

                    RENEWABLE - SUSTAINABLE - FLAVORFUL

                    Cook with Mojobricks Grilling Wood for Smoke Flavor and Get;

                    All-natural, 100% specific species hardwood, compressed, cut and made into easy to use blocks.

                    The first recycled cooking wood that is contributing to making your food taste great!

                    No coal, fillers or chemicals! NONE - ZERO ZIP- NO BINDER means better tasting bbq!

                    Cooks in flavor better than regular briquettes (it’s what the professionals use but easy enough to use - anyone can do it!)

                    No soaking – no prep- simply place it on hot coals and cook!

                    Can't the same be said for wood chunks?? Why would someone buy these instead of a bag of wood chunks from a site like http://www.barbecuewood.com

                    I'm not trying to be a downer either. I just don't see the advantage.

                    Alex, you're so cute.

                    Companies make false claims all the time.

                    Besides that, without some kind of lubricant, how do they get them out of the molds?

                        The large bricks are about the size of a brick and the cubes roughly 3by3 as for burn times i haven't used them in all cookers but in my Backwoods almost 50% longer and I am carrying 100lbs less wood around to comps.This is what I know after 15yrs are playing around with this. These have stepped my game up at comps and have made my job a lot easier in the wood dept. They may not be for all and if you have something that is working for you than great but these have a place in the competition world if thats what your into.

                          Now THAT makes a lot more sense than all the eco-friendly blather on their website.

                            Well, anyone have a update on this product, I saw some ECO bricks in Tractor Supply today and picked up a bundle to try out.

                              Well my comp season is pretty much done and i used nothing but mojo cherry and oak with outstanding results. Peach apple and pecan will be out shortly and i will want the large bricks for my use and will also stock them.
