In the United Kingdom, as of May 2021, all firewood, including our wood briquettes, need to be registered with the Ready to Burn scheme. This means that the briquettes are made from sustainable products, while undergoing a thorough chemical analysis, enabling you to purchase briquettes with confidence.
What Does Ready to Burn Certification Mean?
The Ready to Burn certification ensures that the briquettes are of the highest quality, while meeting environmental standards. This certification is issued by Woodsure, proving that the wood fuel meets their strict criteria when it comes to sustainability, efficiency, and low emissions.
Moisture Content
One of the main factors of the Ready to Burn certification is surrounding the moisture content of our briquettes. When your fuel has a high moisture content, it increases smoke emissions, has a short burn time, and is not efficient. The certificate guarantees that the briquettes have been properly dried to a low moisture level, ensuring a clean and efficient burn that does not hamper the environment.
Easy Maintenance
The Ready to Burn certification is also based on the ash content of the briquettes. Excessive ash is frustrating for users, but also indicates a poor quality fuel quality. This certificate ensures that the briquettes have been made using high quality materials that provides easy maintenance and low ash production.
Emissions
The Ready to Burn certificate also takes emissions produced during burning into consideration. When fuels are not properly regulated, they release dangerous pollutants into the atmosphere, aiding to air pollution, while providing negative health effects. This certificate ensures the briquettes meet strict emission standards, helping you ensure a cleaner and healthier environment.
Conclusion
When you choose briquettes that are Ready to Burn certified, you have peace of mind in knowing that your purchase is high quality and will not have a negative impact on the environment. You also enjoy the benefits of reduced smoke, less ash, longer burn times, increased efficiency, all while reducing your carbon footprint.
