Verdo Wood Briquettes


Made from virgin Scottish softwood thinnings, these briquettes are an ideal replacement for logs. They don't 'spit' and the moisture content is consistently under 8%, giving a clean burn.

Briquettes give a hotter, longer, more controllable burn, are easier and cleaner to handle, are more economical and will take up less space to store than logs. They produce more heat and less ash than logs, plus, these are made from conifer forests which is better for wildlife than felling hardwood trees like ash and oak.

Celsico Bark Briquettes


Made from clean bark that is the by-product of making timber briquettes, these bark briquettes will stay alight overnight in a  stove or will burn long and bright in an open fire.

Bark briquettes are designed to stay alight overnight in a stove. Burn time on an open fire is 2-3 hours, during which it will give off and attractive flicker and lots of heat. They are most economically used in conjunction with other briquettes such as Verdo or SWF.

Hotmax Briquettes


Made from clean, dry waste residue from the manufacture of Bedmax horse bedding. These conveniently sized briquettes are easy to light and burn long and hot. They are a much more economic alternative to logs as a main fuel.

Each 20kg bag contains a selection of various lengths of 70mm diameter cobs. Using these you can start your fire without kindling, just use 5-6 cobs plus 2 Ezilites and one Waxling for the perfect quick fire every time.

EziLite Briquettes


Made from recycled waste paper products, they have a very high calorific value and light easily.  They perform in a stove or open fire where one firelighter, two EziLites and your prefered briquettes will produce an excellent hot fire.

Available in 10kg bags with around 30 mini briquettes per bag. These are superb as kindling, for bringing a dull fire to life or as a main fuel. Use in moderation as they burn long and hot.

Verdo Wood Pellets


Made from virgin conifer timber extracted as thinnings from FSC certificated Scottish forests. These pellets are Premium Grade EN Plus A1 and suitable for all domestic pellet stoves.

If you are thinking of converting to woodfuel to be paid by the Government to heat your premises (Renewable Heat Incentive), the cheaper you can source your fuel the more money you make. But, it must be best quality fuel to give trouble-free running.

Horse Bedding Pellets


Clean dust extracted wood pellet horse bedding, they are identical to the pellets used for biomass boilers. Vat on this product is at 20% instead of the 5% levied on fuel products.

Allow 10 – 12 bags for first bed down, assuming a 12x12 stable, and a further 1-2 bags each week for maintenance. When you get the bedding and cleaning technique right, you will find pellets are a lot cheaper and it is easier to keep a clean stable.

Waxling Firelighters


Made from soft wood shavings soaked in wax and beeswax, these attractive firelighters perform consistently well and when used in conjunction with EziLites, they are unbeatable.

Thank goodness we're now able to discard the stinky old chemical firelighters! These Waxlings burn just as hot for just as long, plus they look and smell great.

Our Kindling alternative


No more messy kindling sticks. These EziLite cobs are made from compressed waste paper. They are clean, light easily and burn nearly as hot as coal. Great to start any fire.

EziLite paper cobs are far better than kindling. We use them in combination with Hotmax or Verdo and one Waxling to quickly and safely start the fire. No spitting and no mess.
