Sale!

Dimension: 300mm long x 72mm dia.
Pack: 4 briquettes = 5kgView in store pricesDescriptionPallet QuantitiesParametersDeliveryRestricted AccessStoring Your BriquettesUK Hardwood Briquettes
What are UK Hardwood Briquettes made from?
UK Hardwood Briquettes are a cylindrical wood briquette made from mixed hardwoods. They’re produced in England using sawdust from the manufacture of hardwood mouldings for furniture. They are 100% pure, untreated wood dust, with no additives or binders.
Each 5kg pack contains four briquettes that easily hand-break into smaller sections if required.
What are UK Hardwood Briquettes’ burning characteristics?
Easy to light and quick to reach a high operating temperature, these small, versatile briquettes enable your stove to work at maximum efficiency. They burn with a lively flame and great heat.
What are UK Hardwood Briquettes suitable for?
Our best value economy heat logs, UK Hardwood Briquettes are ideal as a main fuel for stoves up to 5kw. They are also an excellent kindling replacement, with a quick starter flame and instant heat.
They are great for:
- Small wood and multi-fuel stoves
- Producing fast heat
- Supplementing larger, denser briquettes
- Lighting easily and quickly
How do I use UK Hardwood Briquettes?
Break them up into smaller pieces and place them around one firelighter for a quick and easy way to light the fire. Alternatively, use them in larger pieces as a main fuel in smaller stoves.
Best paired with…
Use them alongside a larger dense long-burn briquette such as Beech Nestro or RUF Oak for maximum efficiency.
Anything else I should know?
These are economy briquettes, not long-burners. They’re great for smaller stoves and for quickly heating up the room but they’re not an ideal main fuel for larger stoves. They’re not a replacement for Beech Nestro or Woodlets, but they are brilliant when used alongside longer-burning products. Some people find they produce some dust, especially when broken, so keep this in mind.
They need completely dry storage in order to keep them at their best.
Do wood briquettes have anything artifical in them?
None of our briquettes contain additives or chemicals. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
In order to place wood briquettes on the UK market, we have to have Ready to Burn certificates for them. This involves regular chemical analyses of the briquettes to ensure that they are 100% pure wood with no additives or binders. It also reassures you that they are dry and safe to burn.

All prices shown include the cost of mainland UK delivery. For offshore addresses, you can check if surcharges apply using our postcode checker.
Due to industry regulation changes, if you require a 7.5 tonne delivery vehicle the maximum pallet weight you can order is 720kgs. If you are unsure what vehicle size you need please phone us on 01387 731 210 to discuss your requirements.
Pallet Orders are delivered by our partner couriers, Palletways, not our own drivers.
Your goods are delivered on a pallet, the footprint of which is usually approximately 1.2m x 1m. The height of the pallet depends on the products you’ve ordered but may be up to two metres high.
The maximum weight of a pallet for non-restricted access deliveries is 980kg.
Our pallet courier will normally deliver your order on an 18 tonne lorry with a tail lift. This means the kerbside of your property must be accessible to a large vehicle. If a bin lorry can access the road then an 18 tonne lorry should be able to as well but it will be up to the driver to determine this.
A good guide is to expect the driver to leave your pallet where your bin goes out for collection.
If Palletways are unable to deliver to the kerbside of your property, for example because of access restrictions which mean a 7.5t vehicle will not be able to get to the property’s kerbside, we will need to put special delivery arrangements in place. These arrangements may incur additional charges, for which you, the customer, are responsible. If you think you may need alternative arrangements please let us know prior to ordering so we can get a quote for you.
For detailed information on pallet deliveries, please see our dedicated page.

Hotmax 10kg
Sale!
A handy UK made cob, ideal for starting the fire, reviving a dying fire, or as a main fuel for small stoves.
Dimension: 50mm to 160mm x 70mm
Pack: 10kgView in store pricesDescriptionPallet QuantitiesParametersDeliveryRestricted AccessStoring Your BriquettesHotmax 10kg
Made from:
Hotmax 10kg is made in the UK from softwood fines (sawdust and bark) extracted whilst making dust free horse bedding. The wood used is all from sustainably managed British forestry and the Hotmax cobs are made using a product that would have otherwise gone to landfill.
Burning characteristics:
Two or three cobs will produce fast heat and flame, leaving a good ember base. Use a handful of Hotmax with a Waxling firelighter in the centre to get the fire going quickly. They do expand slightly, so place them carefully in the fire so they don’t expand onto the glass window or hearth.
Hotmax 10kg are perfect for:
Starting or reviving a fire. The fact that they’re a bit smaller than some of the other briquettes makes them great for quick heat and they’re brilliant for reviving a dying fire. They’re an ideal kindling replacement but can also be a main fuel in smaller stoves. The cobs come in a variety of sizes but larger ones can be broken if needed. They hold their shape well, so are clean to handle.
None of our briquettes contain additives or chemicals. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
