The moisture content of our briquettes are as low as possible, which is why our briquettes are all Ready to Burn certified for use in the United Kingdom. Wooden briquettes have soared in popularity thanks to their sustainability, clean burn, convenience, and cost effectiveness.

What are Wood Briquettes?

Wood briquettes are used for heating, they include brick shaped briquettes and heat logs, both of which you can purchase directly on our website. They are classed as a “biofuel” meaning that they are made from biomass that renews itself, rather than the longer processes involved in the creation of crude oil, for example. They are sustainably sourced, reducing your environmental impact.

Advancements in the wood sector has allowed for the development of new products, including briquettes, that offer higher performance values than traditional firewood.

Moisture Content of Briquettes

As already mentioned, our briquettes are all Ready to Burn certified for use in the UK. They are popular for use in wood burning stoves and open fireplaces in private homes, and commercial settings, such as restaurants and bars.

They have an excellent calorific value of 4.85kWh/kg and a low moisture content of around ten percent. They are made from compressed waste from sawmills in the UK and compacted using an industrial press, creating a dense and durable briquette, you can use with confidence.

Briquettes are larger than wood pellets, depending on the ones you choose. Our hardwood heat logs are 20cm x 48cm x 30cm, RUF briquettes are 34cm x 28cm x 34.5cm, and our Pini Kay Heat Logs measure 22cm x 6.5cm.

Our briquettes are dried and compacted to a moisture content of around ten percent, offering a superior product when compared to traditional firewood. They burn hot, clean, and they have a longer burn duration.

Sensitivity to Moisture

It is very important to note that while our briquettes come with a low moisture content to provide you with the best heat output, longest burn time, and clean burn, they are sensitive to moisture and must be stored correctly in a dry and well ventilated area. We recommend storing your briquettes indoors where possible.

Are Wood Briquettes Right for You?

If you are looking for a fuel source that is easy to handle, highly efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly, then briquettes are for you. They far outperform traditional firewood, offering you a cleaner burn, releasing less pollutants into the air.

Thanks to their low moisture content, our briquettes will use their energy to produce heat, offering you a long burn. You can expect one briquette to burn anywhere from two to four hours, which is pretty impressive, meaning you use less briquettes to heat your home each night.
