Briquette firewood
Every process in my workshop produces saw dust, shavings or chippings. Until recently, I have sadly only been able to dispose of these in landfill, but I have now invested in a briquetting machine to convert all of this waste into fuel.
Briquettes are the most eco-friendly way to have a fire at home. Suitable for log burners, open fires, chinineas, firepits and pizza ovens.
These briquettes are formed using several tonnes of hydraulic pressure, there are no additives, glues or chemicals used in their production. They are made from 100% seasoned hardwood shavings.
These briquettes can be used on their own or combined with logs. They are incredibly dense and high energy, so burn more like coal than logs, giving out a huge amount of heat as they glow.
Available for collection from my Wigston (Leicestershire) workshop:
12KG sacks £8 each or 3x for £23
10kg postal boxes are available through my webshop here for £10 plus P&P, delivered anywhere in mainland UK
Free sample pack available on request
Tips for use:
These briquettes are particularly good for starting fires, some say better than kindling, and I have several customers that buy them just as fire starters. Because they are relatively small, if you just throw a handful onto a roaring fire, they will be quickly consumed but by adding them to a fire that has died down a little, they easily bring a fire back to life. Experimenting with air flow through a log burner will also help get the most from them. They do expand as they burn and give off a huge amount of heat, so experiment with how many you put on at a time to get the balance just right for your fire.
