Briquettes



A typical pallet of wood briquettes contains around 5,000 kWh of energy, which is 50% more than the energy content of a large crate of kiln dried firewood. However, the cost of a pallet of briquettes is comparable to the cost of a large crate of firewood. This makes wood briquettes a very cost-effective way to heat your home.
Overall, wood briquettes are a great choice for homeowners who are looking for a clean, convenient, and efficient way to heat their homes.
Briquettes FAQ
What Are Wood Briquettes?
Wood briquettes (also known as heat logs, eco logs, fire logs or hot logs) are compact, high-density fuel blocks made from kiln dried, recycled wood materials. With moisture levels as low as 6–10%, briquettes deliver more heat, longer burn times and less mess compared to traditional firewood. Ideal for UK homes, their uniform shape makes them easy to handle, stack and store, helping you heat your space efficiently, sustainably, and with less effort.

Where Can I Use Wood Briquettes?
Briquettes can be used in most closed wood burning and multi fuel stoves, as well as open fires, fire pits, chimineas and pizza ovens. Always check the manual to confirm suitability for manufactured solid fuels, and start with smaller loads until you understand how briquettes burn in your particular appliance.
Can I Mix Briquettes With Firewood?
Yes, you can. Start your fire with kiln dried logs, then add briquettes for an extended burn and steady heat throughout the evening. This approach blends the flame and charm of logs with the efficiency and long burn duration of briquettes.
How Should I Store Wood Briquettes?
To keep your briquettes performing at their best, store them in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain their low moisture content.
- Store indoors if possible, off the ground and sheltered from damp.
- If stored outside, use a waterproof cover and ensure good airflow.
- Avoid damp or excessive humidity, as this can cause briquettes to expand or crumble.
Proper storage ensures maximum heat output and reliable burn times. See our full guide here: Briquette Storage.
