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 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:

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

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?

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
