Recommended DC-Area Wood Brick Dealers

Pellet & wood brick delivery options in Maryland
Bulk delivery of bagged wood pellets is common in the Northeast but Maryland its spotty. Northern Maryland is sometimes served by Pennsylvania bulk pellet deliveries. We compiled this list of companies that deliver bagged pellets to homes in Montgomery County and other northern Maryland counties. The quality of the pellets can vary substantially so find out exactly which brand of pellets they offer and research them before buying 2 or 3 tons. We urge people to also check if they are PFI certified, which is one way of assuring quality, particularly for cheaper pellets. This is not necessarily a complete list. If you know of other options, please let us know and we will add them.

Wood bricks are an excellent alternative, or supplement, to firewood. Much like wood pellets, wood bricks are manufactured by densely compacting bark-free wood fibers into a uniform shape. First, the wood fiber is kiln-dried to hold less than 10% moisture. Because of this extremely low moisture rate and absence of bark and insects, the buildup of creosote is significantly lower than standard wood burning. Wood bricks are commonly packaged in bundles of 15-20 bricks. Bundles are sold individually and usually by the ton. In the northeast and parts of Midwest and northwest, they are widely available and can be ordered in bulk for delivery to your home.
In the DC/Baltimore area, they are becoming more available. Check with Kingdom Biofuel in PA and also with ' Clarks ACE Hardware in Ellicott City, MD 21042 (410)-465-9633 has also sold them.
