Briquettes offer easy and convenient combustion and are suitable for burning in multi-fuel stove, open fireplaces and log burners. They burn with an intense heat, and leave very little ash - that’s because we remove all the bark that causes the ash.


Extremely easy to use Minimum levels of ash Easy to store Reduce CO Emissions2
