Description
Aspen Briquettes
Made from:
Aspen Briquettes are made from clean, kiln-dried aspen sawdust. The sawdust is a byproduct from sauna manufacturing; trees are not felled specifically to make these briquettes. They are well compressed with minimal dust. A lovely pale golden colour, with a gentle outer sheen from their excellent, high compression levels, these briquettes are as attractive as they are effective.
Burning characteristics:
Aspen Briquettes are large, nestro style heat logs with a hole down the middle of them. This makes them very versatile and easy to use. Broken into small pieces they are excellent for starting the fire; in halves or thirds they are a pleasantly hot, long-burning main fuel. They are perfect for general burning and do not have as fierce a heat as briquettes such as Beech Nestro and Pini-Kay. This means it’s easy to control the heat output. With controlled airflow, they can burn for hours while still giving out good, steady heat.
Aspen in briquette form is an excellent firewood and has none of the drawbacks of aspen in traditional log form. It does not spit or pop, and is long burning.
As with most nestro briquettes, Aspen briquettes will expand when burning, so unless you have a large stove we recommend you break them in half by tapping two together.
Perfect for:
All stove sizes and burning stages. Aspen Briquettes burn hot and for a long-time, so they are great for quick bursts of heat as well as general burning.
None of our briquettes contain additives or chemicals. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
