At White Horse Energy, our briquettes are designed to burn hotter, cleaner, and longer – offering an environmentally conscious, efficient heating option for your home. But even the best briquettes need proper storage to retain their quality and peak performance. This guide covers everything you need to know about proper briquette storage, so they stay dry, efficient and ready to light when you need them.

2. Keep Briquettes in Their Original Packaging

White Horse Energy briquettes are delivered in packaging designed to protect them from moisture during transport and storage. Keep the packets sealed until use. Once opened, store your briquettes in airtight containers or resealable plastic bags to maintain dryness.

3. Elevate Briquettes Off the Ground

Use pallets, shelving, or wooden slats to keep your briquettes off cold or damp floors which can cause moisture damage. Also, avoid stacking them too tightly against walls or ceilings that may sweat or drip.

4. Stack Neatly and Securely

Keep your briquettes in neat, sturdy stacks to prevent them from toppling or becoming damaged. Neat storage not only saves space but also makes it easier to monitor for any signs of moisture damage, like swelling or crumbling.

How Long Can Briquettes Be Stored For?

When unopened and stored correctly, our briquettes have no fixed expiry and can maintain their quality for years. Once opened, they begin to absorb moisture from the air, so aim to use them within a few weeks for the best burn performance.
