You’ll get more longer lasting heat, no sparks and less smoke from kiln dried logs, whereby most of the moisture has been taken out during the drying process. Night Briquettes are the UK’s best briquette fuel thanks to their combination of long burn time, convenience, and massive savings on winter heating.

Charcoal briquettes (aka BBQ Briquettes) are made from sawdust that is slowly burned in an oxygen-free atmosphere until it is virtually free of moisture. Wood briquettes are briquettes made from wood chips, wood shavings, sawdust, parawood chunks, or bark. It is then placed in the pressing chamber of a briquetting machine, where a pressing ram is used to compress them to a desired density and shape. The extreme heat and pressure our wood undergoes in effect pasteurizes it and eliminates all fungus and molds and bugs from the logs. Some of the hottest-burning fire logs can increase the temperature in a room, but the degree of increased warmth will vary depending on room size and insulation in the walls.Long lasting logs are what every stove owner needs – that also goes for those people with an outdoor or campfire in mind.

And with the right type of kindling and firelighters, you really will create a top quality burn everyone can savour. The binding agent in the firelogs is the natural lignin in the wood, which fuse and melt together under the high heat and pressure during log production.It is common for members of agricultural communities in the US and Europe to make briquettes out of hay and straw. Break - We strongly recommend you break these briquettes in half (or less for very small stoves) because they do expand whilst burning and you don't want them to overfill the fire. After the war, cheap hydrocarbon fuels became available once again and briquettes fell out of favour. They are almost entirely natural – the lignin molecules in the wood melt under the pressure and bind the wood chip and dust together.
