Benefits of Burning Firewood vs. Briquettes

We've tried and tested our very own firewood briquettes and are amazed with the results. 

We would encourage you to try them for yourself to see the difference in comparison to burning traditional firewood.

We can see that burning briquettes instead of traditional firewood offers several advantages in terms of efficiency, convenience, and environmental impact.

Now Let’s See if we can Convince You

1.    Higher Energy Output

Briquettes: The raw chip material used in our briquettes is dried to low moisture levels and thereafter compressed into a uniform rectangular shape. Denser than firewood, briquettes burn longer and produce a more consistent heat, making them highly efficient.

Firewood: Often contains more moisture which reduces energy output and produces less heat compared to briquettes.

2.    Minimal Ash

Briquettes: Compressed woodchips produce less ash and smoke which is significantly lower than traditional firewood, resulting in less residue and a cleaner burn.

Firewood: Typically, there are more ash remnants as firewood burns faster and less efficiently. There can also be unburnt wood remnants leftover.

3.    Convenient and Ready to Use

Briquettes: Pre-dried and ready to burn, briquettes eliminate the need for seasoning and chopping. Our briquettes are compact and easy to stack, allowing for efficient storage in small spaces. Their uniform shape and size makes them easier to handle, transport and store compared to traditional logs.

Firewood: Requires seasoning for months to reduce moisture content and may need cutting or splitting.

4.    Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

Briquettes: The production of briquettes involves compressing wood residues under high pressure, without the need for chemical binders or additives. This keeps the process clean and environmentally friendly. 
All timber used in our production process is FSC Certified which means it is sustainably sourced and replanted, ensuring a continuous and renewable supply.

Firewood: Unseasoned firewood contains high levels of moisture which leads to inefficient burning, more smoke and increased air pollution. Firewood can contribute to deforestation and habitat destruction if cut from the forest without replanting.
