Behind the Scenes: Crafting Our Eco-Friendly BioBricks

At EasyLight Fire, our mission is to fuse exceptional performance with environmental stewardship. That’s why every BioBrick we produce starts as discarded wood byproducts—sawdust, nutshells, and agricultural residuals—that we collect from local partners. Through an exacting multi-step process, we turn potential waste into a premium, eco-friendly fuel that burns hotter, longer, and cleaner than ordinary firewood.

Sourcing Sustainable Biomass

Quality begins at the source. We partner with sawmills, furniture manufacturers, and farms within a 200 km radius of our Ontario facility to:

• Divert waste from landfills: Sawdust, wood chips, and nutshells find new purpose.

• Reduce transportation emissions: Shorter haul routes mean a smaller carbon footprint.

• Ensure purity & consistency: Each load is inspected for moisture (< 10 %) and free of contaminants (no plastics or metals).

By choosing regional suppliers, we support Canadian businesses and guarantee a consistent, high-quality feedstock for every batch of BioBricks.

Precision Drying & Grinding

Moisture is the enemy of a clean, efficient burn. To achieve an ideal moisture level and particle size:

1. Kiln Drying: Our biomass enters a low-temperature kiln, driving moisture below 5 % for reliable ignition.

2. Hammer Milling: A fine grind (1–3 mm) produces a homogenous powder, ensuring each brick compresses evenly without weak spots.

These precise steps eliminate damp pockets and clumps, setting the stage for optimal compression and combustion performance.

High-Pressure Compression

The heart of our operation is a custom hydraulic press:

• 3 000 PSI Force: Compresses the biomass blend into ultra-dense bricks—no binders or additives required.

• Uniform Molding: Steel dies shape each brick to 5 × 5 × 10 cm, perfect for stacking and consistent burn times.

• Rapid Cooling: A 10 m cooling tunnel locks in the brick’s density and structural integrity before handling.

Under this immense pressure, natural lignins bind the biomass, producing BioBricks that ignite easily and sustain intense heat.

Rigorous Quality Testing

We don’t ship a single pallet without passing every quality checkpoint:

• Density Verification: Each brick must exceed 1.1 g/cm³ to qualify as “High-Heat.”

• Burn Trials: Sample bricks undergo a 30-minute ignition test in a controlled chamber.

• Ash Analysis: We measure ash output (< 2 % by weight) to ensure minimal residue and easy cleanup.

Only BioBricks that meet all criteria earn our seal of approval—and your trust.

Smart Packaging & Fast Shipping

To deliver fresh, ready-to-burn fuel directly to your doorstep:

• Eco-Friendly Wrapping: Recyclable shrink film protects against moisture.

• Batch Traceability: Labels with production date and lot numbers provide full transparency.

• Freight-Optimized Pallets: Secure stacking reduces damage and shipping costs across Canada and the U.S.

Our streamlined logistics network means you receive premium BioBricks quickly, whether you’re in Toronto or Tucson.

Environmental Impact & Circular Economy

Choosing BioBricks supports a closed-loop system:

• Waste Reduction: Thousands of tonnes of biomass are upcycled annually.

• Carbon Balance: The CO₂ stored in raw agricultural residues offsets processing emissions.

• Nutrient-Rich Ash: The fine ash left behind enriches soil as a natural fertilizer.

By burning clean and returning ash to the earth, BioBricks complete a true circular lifecycle—fueling your fire while nurturing the planet.

Why Choose BioBricks?

• Superior Heat: Dense compression delivers hotter, longer burns.

• Low Ash & Smoke: Cleaner combustion means less chimney buildup and less maintenance.

• 100 % Natural: No chemicals, glues, or binders—just pure, recycled biomass.

• Versatile Use: Perfect for indoor fireplaces, wood stoves, and outdoor fire pits.

• Canadian-Made Quality: Crafted and shipped from Ontario for consistent performance.
