What are the advantages of using briquettes over other types of fuel?

Briquettes are compact bricks that are made using compressed sawmill byproducts. They can also be made using leaves, sugar cane, bamboo scraps, coffee husks, and more. The briquettes you purchase from us at Thomson Wood Fuel Ltd, are all sustainably sourced and are made from sawdust and wood chips.

Briquettes are highly efficient and generate more than 8100 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per pound. They provide high energy output and a clean burn, meaning less ash production.

What are the Advantages of Using Briquettes?

Briquettes are made using compressed flammable sawmill byproducts, offering a fuel source that is sense, solid, and compact. They offer concentrated energy, when compared to traditional firewood or charcoal.

Slow Burn

The compression process in the manufacturing of our briquettes, enables then to burn for an extended period, when compared to other fuel sources.

High Efficiency

The compact nature of our Ready to Burn certified briquettes, contribute to their heating values, producing intense heat when compared to other types of fuels. They have higher thermal values with lower ash content of up to twelve percent less than other fuel types. Coal, for example, has up to forty five percent ash content.

Briquettes are up to forty percent more efficient, generating more heat and offering a longer burn time, when compared to traditional firewood. This is due to their low moisture value and high density.

Clean Burning

A major benefit of using briquettes over other types of fuel is that they offer a clean burn, which means less smoke, soot, and carbon deposits. The amount of ash produced is minimal. These briquettes will not produce harmful chemicals, such as sulphur, making them an environmentally friendly fuel source for your home.

Readily Available

Due to our briquettes being made using sawmill byproducts, they are readily available. The sawmills always have sawdust and wood chips that they sent to the landfills. Our briquettes are sourced from sustainable sawmills, and we always have ample stock available on our website for you to purchase with ease and confidence.

Competitively Priced

Briquettes are made using sawmill byproduct waste and are manufactured here in the UK, which means they are available at competitive prices. Of course, you must also take the fact that they are long burning into consideration, meaning you will use less briquettes to heat your home this winter season.

Renewable Energy

These days the majority of UK homeowners are looking for environmentally friendly ways to heat their homes and being able to use a fuel source that relies on renewable products is a bonus. The briquettes have a high burning efficiency, compared to coal. Coal will emit smoke when burned, but our eco friendly briquettes produce no pollution, which is why many people call them “white coal.”
