Product Information

The production process is also key to creating top class briquettes as intense pressure is needed to form them.

There is a very easy way of fixing this… Roll up some newspaper and light it, holding it up the damper for a while. These little changes can make all the difference – and so too can using artificial logs in your wood burner for a consistent burn. Now that the UK has left the EU, anything being imported to the UK from the EU must go through a formal customs declaration and UK companies need to pay duty and VAT on their imports, which pushes the cost up. Suitable for both stoves and open fires, WillowWarm Briquettes are a great size for most small to medium stoves and open fires, so do not need to be broken, which minimises mess and handling. With today’s insulation and draft-proofing, there is not much air circulation, and trickle vents won’t do the trick.The moisture content in this product is lower than 9%, they burn slower than logs, and give off an impressive amount of heat. Featuring a high-performance mixture of biomass fibre and waxes, these logs have a healthy burning time of as much as four hours. Wood briquettes are manufactured logs made up of compressed wood byproducts and make a great alternative to traditional firewood logs. The lignan molecules in the wood melt under intense pressure to bind together the wood and the dust, forming a dense solid block. Nutshells and seeds – which simulate the crackling of a natural fire – have also become commonplace.

In addition to this, briquettes can save you storage space compared to logs as one of the best quality briquettes is roughly the energy equivalent of 3 - 4 traditional logs.Beech Nestro are made in Germany from pure beech grindings, which produce a dense, dust-free briquette.

Softwood can produce a very pleasing flame to look at but it will burn very quickly and you will get through a large volume of wood in a very short time. Briquettes create a different type of fire to logs and can allow you to build a fire which fits with your needs. They’re very highly compressed, so they produce almost no dust and this density helps them burn for several hours. Similar to logs, it is essential that briquettes are kept dry as they are very vulnerable to any moisture. One kiln dried log can produce the same amount of energy as around three freshly cut logs because there is so much water to evaporate in the wood.

great article as usual; some winter I used a smaller version of the long log fire which is more suitable in my enviriments, but I liked to know the 3 logs version, just in case. By taking the best quality hardwood and kiln drying it we produce logs that give off a pleasing aroma when burning. WillowWarm Briquettes are made in Ireland from coppiced willow, compressed into short, dense heat logs, measuring 16cm by 7.

For the cheapest way to build a mix of products (briquettes, bird food, compost etc), start with a Quarter or Half Pallet of your favourite briquette and add all the extras you need through our Add-ons Page. We genuinely care about the environmental impact of our products, and are constantly working to improve the sustainability of our packaging by using cardboard in place of plastic wherever possible.In the case of a long-log fire this approach is still prudent, of course, particularly if you are in dire need of its warmth. Their higher calorific value and longer burn-time make them a more cost-effective option in the long run. A superior type of heat log that is a cost effective fuel choice for your wood burner or multi-fuel stove.
