Meet the Briquettes – Discovery Pallet

Not sure which wood briquette to choose? Meet the Briquettes brings together a varied selection from our briquettes and heat logs range, giving you the chance to try different shapes, sizes and burning characteristics without ordering a larger pallet of just one product.

Some briquettes are ideal for lighting the fire and producing quick heat. Others are denser and designed to provide steady heat over a longer period. Trying them in your own appliance is often the best way to discover what works for you.

This mixed wood briquette pallet contains approximately 220kg of briquettes and heat logs, plus natural firelighters to get you started.

You can also use our Wood Briquette Finder to compare the different options.

This product arrives on a pallet. Delivery normally takes 3–5 working days for most areas, and you will need to be available to receive it.

Who is Meet the Briquettes for?

This discovery pallet is a good choice if:

• you are new to wood briquettes;
• you have recently installed a stove;
• you would like to compare different briquettes;
• you want a mixture of quick-heat and longer-burning fuels;
• you burn briquettes alongside kiln-dried logs;
• you want a varied quarter pallet rather than a larger quantity of one product.

Every stove, chimney and flue combination behaves differently. A briquette that works particularly well for one customer may perform differently for another, so a mixed selection is a practical way to find your favourites.

Once you know which fuels suit you best, you can combine your favourites using our Mix Your Own Pallet service.

What are the different briquettes like to burn?

Firelighting and quick heat

Waxlings and Dr Heat Firelighters make it easy to get the fire started.

Hotmax, Roastie Toasties and UK Hardwood Briquettes produce heat quickly. They are useful for lighting or reviving a fire and can also be used as a main fuel in smaller stoves.

Versatile everyday fuels

Woodlets Briquettes and Woodlets Heat Logs are useful general-purpose fuels. They produce excellent heat with an attractive flame and can be used in a wide range of stoves and open fires.

Goldies are compact softwood heat logs made from sawdust sourced from sustainably managed Scottish forests. Their shorter length makes them particularly useful in smaller stoves, and they produce strong heat with an attractive flame.

WillowWarm briquettes are made in Ireland from renewable coppiced willow. Their compact size makes them convenient for small and medium-sized stoves, although they can also be used on an open fire. They produce excellent heat with an attractive flame and have an active burn time of up to approximately 1.5 hours.

Woodlets and WillowWarm expand as they burn. Start with a small amount, position them across the fire and leave sufficient room inside the firebox.

Dense and longer-burning briquettes

RUF Oak, OKO RUF, Hardwood Pini-Kay, Beech Nestro and ENVI8 are denser briquettes that provide steady heat over a longer period.

OKO RUF are dense mixed-wood blocks that burn for approximately two to four hours, depending on the appliance and airflow. Their compact square shape makes them easy to position in smaller stoves and open fires.

Hardwood Pini-Kay produces excellent heat with an attractive flame and holds its shape well while burning. Beech Nestro and ENVI8 are larger, densely compressed briquettes that burn hot over a long period.

Can I include ENVI XL?

ENVI XL is not normally included because of its large size and is best suited to larger stoves.

If you have a suitable appliance and would like to try it, please contact us before ordering. Subject to availability, we may be able to exchange some of the standard selection for ENVI XL.

Do wood briquettes contain additives?

Our wood briquettes are made from clean, untreated wood by-product. They contain no artificial additives, chemicals or binders and are held together by compression.

Can I use these briquettes on an open fire?

Yes, all of the briquettes in the selection can be used on open fires as well as in wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves.

Some briquettes expand while burning, so add only a small amount at first and leave plenty of room around the fuel. This is particularly important on an open fire, where expanding briquettes could move towards the edge of the grate.

Always follow the instructions for your appliance and use a suitable fireguard with an open fire.

How should I store the briquettes?

Wood briquettes must be kept completely dry. Suitable places include:

• a dry garage;
• a watertight shed;
• a porch or conservatory;
• a dry outbuilding;
• inside the house;
• a watertight plastic garden store.

Do not keep briquettes in an open-sided log store, uncovered outdoor area or damp building. Briquettes are already very dry and will absorb moisture if they are not properly protected.

Individual packs are wrapped to hold the briquettes together, but the packaging is not waterproof. The pallet wrapping offers temporary protection during delivery and is not suitable for outdoor storage.

Please make sure you can move the packs under cover when they arrive.

How will my pallet be delivered?

Meet the Briquettes is delivered kerbside by Palletline, normally on an 18-tonne vehicle with a tail lift.

The driver will use a manual pallet truck, so the delivery point must be firm, flat and level. Pallets cannot be moved safely over gravel, grass, steep slopes, steps or uneven ground.

Delivery is included to most mainland UK addresses, although some locations carry a surcharge. Delivery normally takes 3–5 working days for most areas, and someone must be available to receive the order.

If you require a smaller 7.5-tonne vehicle, select the access-restrictions option at checkout and add the request to your order notes. At approximately 220kg, this pallet is within the permitted weight for a smaller delivery vehicle.

A 7.5-tonne vehicle is the smallest vehicle we can request. If you are unsure whether a delivery vehicle can reach your property, please call us on 01387 731 210 before ordering.

Please read our pallet delivery information before placing your order.
