UK RUF briquettes are a dense softwood briquette, produced in England.
UK RUF briquettes are a dense softwood briquette produced in England.
They’re mid-brown in colour and very well-compressed.
Because they’re square, RUF blocks don’t roll in the hearth, so they’re easy and safe to use in an open fire.
Giving out a steady heat with a nice flame, these are really easy-to-use-briquettes. They burn for around two hours depending on airflow and give off good heat for the duration of their burn time.
UK RUF are great to get the fire going, used as a ‘heat sink’ in the back of the fire, where they will glow for a couple of hours and help create a really good heart in your fire. Many people also use RUF blocks as a sole fuel throughout the burn. However, they do not generate the high and consistent heat of something like Pini-Kay or Beech Nestro. They are a handy size so are excellent on a smaller stove or open fire.
Our briquettes are all additive-free. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
UK RUF come in plastic wrapped packs. Please check with your local authority for recycling facilities.
Each pack is plastic wrapped but not always fully sealed. They are not in waterproof packaging. There will often be gaps in the wrap, due to the wrapping process. The wrap is only there to hold the packs together, rather than to weatherproof them.

*Break - We strongly recommend you break these briquettes in half (or less for very small stoves) because they do expand whilst burning and you don't want them to overfill the fire.
*Easy to light - We always use a Firelighter and Kindling Sticks to start our fires. Most briquettes are graded four stars to light because they are quite dense and require kindling.
