Briquettes

The Modern, Efficient Alternative

Briquettes, also known as heat logs, eco logs, or fire logs, are made from recycled sawdust that is compressed under high pressure to form a dense, compact shape. They are then kiln dried until they reach exceptionally low moisture levels (typically between 6-10%).
Briquettes are considered a carbon-neutral fuel source because they are made from repurposed wood waste that would otherwise be thrown away, and they burn exceptionally cleanly with minimal smoke and ash emissions.

Convenience and Storage:

• Briquettes: Briquettes’ compact, uniform shape makes them easy to stack and store. They also fit easily into most appliances and produce less ash and smoke, resulting in easier cleaning and less stove maintenance.
• Firewood: Firewood requires more storage space and can be a bit messier to handle. However, it offers the traditional look, smell, and feel that many love.
  Kiln dried firewood is also more suitable for long term storage, as it is more tolerant to moisture. Briquettes, on the other hand, can swell or crumble if exposed to excess moisture or humidity, reducing their burning efficiency.

Cost-Effectiveness:

• Briquettes: While the initial cost of briquettes may be higher, they often provide better long-term value. Due to their high heat output and extended burn time, you will use less fuel overall.
• Firewood: Firewood typically has a lower cost upfront, but because it requires more frequent refuelling, it could end up being less economical in the long run.
