Our Ready to Burn certified wood briquettes are made from densely compacted sawmill sawdust and wood chips. They are competitively priced, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly. They are dried, removing moisture, making them considerably drier than traditional logs.

Wooden briquettes produce minimal smoke, reducing dangerous pollutants being released into the air, include creosote. Being energy-dense, these briquettes offer outstanding heat output, a long burn duration, and they are easy to handle and store.

What Are Briquettes?

Briquettes are a popular fuel source that are manufactured from sawmill by-products, such as sawdust and wood chips. The moisture is removed and they are compressed into dense briquettes, which are made without any dangerous chemicals, adhesives, or glues. In addition to wooden briquettes, you can also purchase coal briquettes or biomass briquettes, which are made from rice husks, straw, wood, and peat.

We offer three types of wood briquettes that you can use in your home with confidence:

  • Hardwood heat logs – come in a box. The heat log are uniform in shape, as a cylinder, with a hole in the centre
  • RUF briquettes – come in a box. These briquettes are brick-like in shape
  • Pini Kay heat logs – come as a palette of 98 bags or a box. These briquettes are also cylinder shape.

What Can Environmentally-Friendly Briquettes Be Made From?

Briquettes can be made from any organic combustible material. Not all organic materials are suitable for briquettes. The most common includes:

  • Sawmill by-products – Ninety percent of the worlds biomass briquettes are made using recycled sawmill by-products, such as sawdust, wood shavings, and wood chips. This is what you will find on our website
  • Peat – is growing in popularity and are very popular in Ireland. These burn at high temperatures, producing a distinct aroma
  • Charcoal – charcoal briquettes are better known as BBQ briquettes, made from charcoal, commonly used for grilling

What Are the Advantages to Using Briquettes?

Our wood briquettes offer outstanding benefits when compared to traditional logs:

  • High energy density
  • Long burn duration
  • Outstanding heat output
  • Low moisture content
  • Ready to Burn certified for use in the UK
  • Clean burn
  • Easy handling and storage
  • Can be used in open fires and wood burning stoves

Improved Air Quality

The one fuel that is more energy-dense than wood briquettes is coal. Most of today’s home owners are changing from coal to wood briquettes for environmental reasons, along with improving their health and the air quality in their homes.

When you burn coal, you release harmful toxins into the air, along with releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Don’t forget the damage coal mining is doing to our environment.

Producing briquettes reduces waste. Our briquettes are all sustainably sourced using sawmill by-product waste, reducing the amount of waste being sent to our already overflowing landfills. They eliminate the need to cut down trees, made from discarded materials that are no longer needed.

How are Briquettes Made?

Our wood briquettes are made by compressing the sawdust and wood chips into a desired shape with a high density. A conveyor sends the prepared materials to a pressing chamber, where they are compressed. After which, they may be further dried to ensure they meet the Ready to Burn requirements.

Are Briquettes Better Than Logs?

 Wood briquettes are definitely more superior than traditional firewood. They are high quality with low moisture, burning hotter for longer.

Can Briquettes Be Used in Open Fires and Wood Burning Stoves?

 Wood briquettes are ideal for open fires and wood burning stoves. They produce minimal ash and creosote, offering you a safe and environmentally-friendly fuel source.
