Benefits of Wood Briquettes for Heating

Economic Efficiency

Wood briquettes have a high density and low moisture, providing significantly higher heat output compared to traditional firewood. To heat an average family home, you’ll need 4 to 6 tonnes of wood briquettes per year, representing a substantial saving compared to heating with gas or electricity.

When you purchase wood briquettes, you can be sure that:

• 1,000 kg of briquettes produces the same volume of heat as 1,500 kg of brown coal
• Fuel consumption is up to 30% lower than with conventional logs
• Less than 1% ash remains, compared to up to 20% for coal

Environmental Benefits

Wood briquettes are a highly eco-friendly fuel. Burning wood briquettes releases an amount of CO2 comparable to what the tree absorbed during its growth. The overall CO2 balance is therefore neutral.

Other environmental benefits:

• Renewable energy source from local biomass
• Utilisation of wood waste that would otherwise end up in landfill
• No chemical additives or heavy metals
• Minimal emissions when burned correctly

Practicality and Storage

Thanks to their uniform size and shape, wood briquettes are easy to store and handle. They don’t take up much space and create no mess. When you order wood briquettes from us, we deliver them in practical packaging that minimises storage space.

Key properties for storage:

• Low moisture (under 10%) = ready to use immediately
• Compact shape = easy stacking
• Clean handling = no dirt on your hands
• Long shelf life when stored correctly

How to Choose the Best Wood Briquettes for Sale

Types of Wood Briquettes

When selecting wood briquettes to buy, it’s important to know the basic types:

A fundamental indicator of a quality briquette is its calorific value. Both beech and spruce provide the same calorific value per kilogram. Here at Wood-Břežany s.r.o, we offer a wide selection of briquettes for sale for all types of heating.

Signs of Quality Wood Briquettes

When you want to buy wood briquettes, look for these characteristics:

1. Low moisture (ideally 5-10%)
2. High pressing density
3. Clean wood sawdust without additives
4. Uniform shape and dimensions
5. Quality certification (ENplus, DINplus)

Wood briquettes should be made only from clean wood waste, such as sawdust and shavings, without any additives. This ensures that no harmful substances are released into the air during combustion.

How to Burn Wood Briquettes Correctly

Basic Lighting Procedure

To start, we recommend using kindling or chopping a few wood briquettes into thin slices to light. Let them burn evenly with full air supply until you reach the desired temperature.

Step-by-step:

1. Prepare the firebox – Clean out ash from the previous fire
2. Kindling – Use firelighters and thin wood shavings
3. First briquettes – Add 2-3 briquettes to the kindling once it’s glowing
4. Regulate air supply – Let it burn fully, then reduce the air intake
5. Refuelling – Add more briquettes after 15-20 minutes

Optimising Combustion

Wood briquettes, thanks to their compact structure and low moisture content, have a slow and even decomposition, ensuring long and stable burning.

Tips for efficient heating:

• Do not fill the firebox more than halfway (briquettes expand)
• Maintain a constant air supply for clean combustion
• Burn with a smaller flame and stable embers
• Never burn damp briquettes

Storing Wood Briquettes: A Practical Guide

Where to Store Briquettes?

Wood briquettes are a product made from dried, highly compacted wood waste with low moisture content. When exposed to moisture, they swell and disintegrate, causing a loss of their combustion efficiency.

Ideal storage locations:

• A dry garage or shed
• A cellar with low humidity
• A covered terrace under a shelter
• Inside the house in utility rooms

Unsuitable locations:

• Outdoor spaces without a cover
• Damp cellars
• Traditional log stores with ventilation

How to Store Correctly?

Maintain the integrity and energy potential of your briquettes by storing them neatly in their original packaging in a low-humidity environment.

Storage rules:

1. Keep in original packaging – The film protects against moisture
2. Store off the ground – Use pallets or shelving
3. Protect from water – No contact with dripping water
4. Check humidity – Ideally below 60%
5. Open gradually – Only open packs you currently need

Comparison: Wood Briquettes vs. Other Fuels

Wood Briquettes vs. Firewood

The calorific value of firewood ranges from 14 to 20 MJ/kg depending on the type of wood and its moisture. Wood briquettes have a more stable calorific value, around 18-20 MJ/kg, due to their low moisture content and high density.

Wood Briquettes vs. Coal

If you use 60 tonnes of coal to heat your home per year, you will only need 40 tonnes of wood briquettes for the heating season with a quality, clean boiler.

Advantages of briquettes over coal:

• More eco-friendly – CO2 neutral
• Cleaner – 0.35% ash vs. 20% for coal
• No sulphur or heavy metals
• Pleasant aroma when burning

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How Many Wood Briquettes Do I Need for Winter?

During the heating season, an average family home with an annual consumption of 80 GJ will use approx. 4-6 tonnes of wood briquettes. For weekend cottages or occasional heating, 1-2 tonnes per year are sufficient. It depends on the house size, insulation, and outdoor temperatures.

Estimated consumption:

• Small house (80 m²): 3-4 tonnes
• Medium house (120 m²): 4-5 tonnes
• Large house (180 m²): 5-7 tonnes
• Weekend cottage: 1-2 tonnes

2. How Long Does One Wood Briquette Burn?

On average, a wood briquette can burn for 2-3 hours, depending on the specific type and combustion conditions. Bark briquettes have an extended burn and glow time. On average, they last up to 7 hours.

Burn time by type:

• Standard briquettes: 2-3 hours
• Hardwood (beech): 3-4 hours
• Bark/Night: 5-7 hours

3. Can I Store Wood Briquettes Outdoors?

Briquettes are ideally stored indoors in a dry, covered environment. It is crucial to avoid exposure to rain, snow, dripping water, or excessive moisture. If you must store them outdoors, ensure perfect covering and protection from moisture.

4. Are Wood Briquettes Better Than Pellets?

Both briquettes and pellets have their advantages:

Wood Briquettes:

• Usable in standard boilers and stoves
• Higher heat output by volume
• Longer burn time
• Lower system investment cost

Pellets:

• Automatic feeding
• Even more compact storage
• Ideal for automatic boilers

We also offer wood pellets for those who prefer automatic heating.

5. What Kind of Ash Do Wood Briquettes Leave?

Briquettes have a high calorific value and produce only a minimal amount of ash when burned, which is an excellent mineral fertiliser. The ash content of quality briquettes is less than 1%, whereas for coal, it can be up to 20%.

Uses for ash:

• Fertiliser for the garden (rich in potassium)
• Grit for paths in winter
• Composting

6. Do I Need a Special Boiler for Wood Briquettes?

No, wood briquettes can be burned in any boiler designed for solid fuels:

• Wood boilers
• Coal boilers (with adjustment)
• Gasification boilers
• Universal boilers

Important: Always follow the boiler manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure the correct firebox size.

7. Are Wood Briquettes Safe?

Yes, wood briquettes are safe when basic rules are followed:

✓ Store in a dry place, away from fire sources
✓ Use only in controlled appliances
✓ Clean your chimney regularly
✓ Maintain adequate air supply
✓ Do not overload the firebox

8. Can I Use Damp Briquettes?

No, when exposed to moisture, they swell and disintegrate, causing a loss of their combustion efficiency. Damp briquettes:

• Burn poorly
• Produce excessive smoke
• Reduce heat output
• Can crumble into sawdust

Always use only dry briquettes with moisture under 10%.

9. How Do I Recognise Quality Wood Briquettes?

You can recognise quality wood briquettes by:

1. Appearance – Compact, without cracks
2. Density – Heavy, dense
3. Smell – Pleasant woody scent
4. Colour – Lighter (not dark from bark)
5. Certification – ENplus, DINplus, FSC
