Briquettes contain about 19,800 BTU per kilogram when produced from kiln dried lumber by-products. Our briquettes contain, on average, 8% moisture by weight, where typical firewood, when seasoned in dry conditions for one year, contains about 20% moisture by weight. Since it takes energy to boil off the moisture, less moisture means more useable heat is produced.
A tonne of our briquettes occupies a space of 3ft x 3ft x 4ft (36 cu ft) which is the energy equivalent to one and a half full cords of firewood which occupies a volume measuring 4ft x 12ft x 4ft (192 cu ft).
BENEFITS OF WOOD BRIQUETTES
Wood briquettes are quickly gaining a reputation as a fuel of choice for many people and it’s easy to see why. The benefits include:
They’re a cost effective form of fuel for a log burner. For every pound spent on fuel, wood briquettes produce 50% more heat compared to logs
They are chimney and flue friendly. The low moisture content reduces the chances of your chimney or flue becoming clogged compared to higher moisture fuels
They take up less storage space than traditional logs
They are easy to light and can provide a long lasting fire
They are a more environmentally friendly form of fuel than fossil fuels and they are often made from wood which would otherwise end up in landfill
They are odourless and produce very little ash and smoke
They are a flexible form of fuel which can be used indoors, outdoors and in combination with logs.
