HeatBriqs are certified Ready To Burn.
Our firewood briquettes carry the Woodsure Ready to Burn certification, so you can buy with complete confidence. This is a scheme that guarantees our fuel has a low moisture content — which in plain terms means it lights easily, burns efficiently, and produces far less smoke than cheaper, wetter alternatives.
Wet wood is one of the biggest causes of tar build-up in chimneys and flues, which can be costly to fix and dangerous if left unchecked. With Ready to Burn certified fuel, you get a hotter, cleaner fire straight out of the bag, with no waiting around for wood to dry out. It's a small detail that makes a big difference to your home, your stove, and the air around you.

How to Use my HeatBriqs
HeatBriqs Firewood Briquettes are straightforward to use whether you are an experiences fire-lighter or a first-timer.
- Arrange 2-3 briquettesa in your stove or fire with a small gap between them to allow airflow.
- Position 1-2 firelighters between the briquettes.
- Light the firelighters and allow airflow to encourage a strong flame.
- Allow the briquettes to ignite. Avoid adding too many at this stage.
- Once the briquettes are well lit, add more as needed to maintain a steady long lasting heat.
Top Tips
- Don't overload the fire early on. Briquettes need a bit of space to ignite properly.
- Keep airflow high at the start, then reduce once fully burning.
- You don't need to add any kindling, firewood, accelerants or coal!
How should I store my HeatBriqs?
Proper storage of wood briquettes ensures they stay dry, retain their quality, and perform efficiently when burned. Follow these guidelines to store your briquettes effectively:-
- Keep Them Dry
Store briquettes in a location protected from moisture, such as a shed, garage, or covered outdoor area. Use waterproof tarps or plastic sheeting if necessary. High humidity can also cause briquettes to absorb moisture, reducing their efficiency and causing them to crumble.
- Use Airtight Containers
Store briquettes in sealed containers, bins, or bags to keep them dry and prevent exposure to air and humidity.
- Elevate off the Ground
Place briquettes on pallets, shelves, or raised platforms to keep them off the ground and away from damp surfaces.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can weaken the binding of briquettes, making them prone to crumbling. Store in a shaded area to maintain their integrity.
- Organise for Easy Access
Stack briquettes neatly to allow for easy access and prevent accidental crushing. Avoid over stacking, as the pressure can damage briquettes at the bottom.
- Long Term Storage Tips
If storing briquettes for extended periods, check periodically for signs of moisture or damage, and ensure the storage area remains dry and well-ventilated.
Rotate your stock by using older briquettes first to ensure none degrade over time.
Store the briquettes in the plastic wrap until ready to use.
Properly storing wood briquettes will help preserve their quality and ensure efficient, clean-burning performance whenever you need them.
