To me, shorter drying time is not the only advantage I see to making bricks. The biggest advantage I see is that it allows you to make the bricks well before they are needed. You can produce the infill at the same time you are cutting the frames, or even well beforehand. This means it doesn't matter if the bricks take a month to dry (in the case of wood chips, faster drying time is advisable for straw, because straw tends to rot easily) because I have several months before I even need to use them. The major disadvantage I see is that you need a large area to store them and dry them out.

I really like the idea of making my infill out of my waste from cutting the frame and hewing the timbers. Right now I have a great abundance of wood chips, and I will only be making more!
