Wood briquettes are convenient to store as they come in regular shaped packets that are stackable. They also have the following advantages:
- Storage space required is less and these stack efficiently
- Briquettes are often made from industrial waste so that is good for the environment
- Wood briquettes often have a lower ash and sulphur content compared to other conventional fuels
- The energy content per cubic foot is higher due to their density
- Briquettes produce only a little smoke
- The post-combustion residue is less than for many other fuels
- The heat output per lb of wood briquettes is very good
- Briquettes also retain their heat longer and do not burn off quickly
- As compared with other firewood options, the briquettes, due to their hard compression, contain lesser moisture content and hence burn well. The moisture content is very low, around 6-8 %
- Briquettes are sold by weight and hence it is also easy to assess the quantity required
On the whole, these wooden briquettes provide a cost-effective source of heating, efficient and consistent fires, a substantial ecologic saving and hardly any maintenance.
The alternative briquettes we supply are Hotties Heatlogs . Made from compressed, dried recycled clean wood they are very hot burning, clean, easy to handle and fit into even the smaller wood-burning stoves.
