The 90 Day Burn Ready Mix
Welcome to our new Ready Mix pallet, The 90 Day Burn – an all Hardwood briquette pallet.
Everything you need on one pallet to keep you warm for the next 90 days.*
Made from:
- Dr. Heat Firelighters are made in the UK from dried chopped miscanthus grass soaked in scented candle wax waste from a candle manufacturing factory.
- UK Hardwood Briquettes are small, easy to break cylinders made in England by a company producing hardwood furniture
- RUF Oak are a dense hardwood RUF briquette.
- Beech Nestro are made from fine ground pure beech sawdust generated as a by-product from furniture, floor and house frame manufacture.
Burning characteristics:
- Dr. Heat Firelighters light easily and burn for about ten minutes, easily setting light to any good dry kindling. We like the fact they are a UK product and a highly effective, easy to use lighter.
- UK Hardwood Briquettes are easy to light and quick to reach a high operating temperature, which enables your stove to work at maximum efficiency. They burn with a lively flame to start with, then turn red hot and provide a good steady heat for a couple of hours. UK Hardwood Briquettes will expand lengthways as they burn, so place them across your fire rather than pointing towards the hearth.
- RUF Oak are really easy-to-use-briquettes. They burn for around 1 – 2 hours depending on airflow and give off a steady heat for the duration of their burn time.
- Beech Nestro are acclaimed by many to be the best briquette in Europe. They are made from pure beech hardwood ground to a fine particle size and densely compacted into 4 x 2.5kg briquettes per 10kg pack. They are exceptionally clean to handle even when broken. Burnt whole or cracked into smaller sections they generate a good flame and burn for several hours with a lovely hot glow. Truly the best main fuel briquette you will ever experience.
This mix has been calculated assuming 90 days of evening fires.* Below is a guide on how to achieve this:
Start off with two of the RUF Oak briquettes in an open v shape, this will create a heart in your fire.
Place a lit firelighter in the centre of the two RUF Oak.
Break up one UK Hardwood Briquette into four sections and place these round the firelighter.
Open the air vents fully for the UK Hardwood to get well alight, but monitor the air flow so it doesn’t get out of control.
After half an hour or so, place half a Beech Nestro on top of the well-lit UK Hardwood. Be careful to place it across the fire, so the end is not facing the glass, as it will expand slightly as it burns. This should last over an hour before needing more Beech adding. This mix allows for up to 2.5 Beech briquettes to be used each evening. To maximise burn time, do not prod the fire with a poker.
*We have based our quantities on an average 5kw stove, lit every evening around 6pm and burning actively until approximately 10pm, under average winter weather conditions. This will vary depending on the efficiency of your stove, weather conditions, outside tempertures and airflow settlings. Open fires are even more difficult to predict, as they are not as efficient as stoves. 90 days is a guide, not a guarantee. Please talk to us if you have any queries and we will try to tailor a mix to meet your specfic circumstances.
The 90 Day Burn is perfect for:
Getting the most out of your stove. Easy to light and simple to keep burning, this mixture of briquettes will suit most stoves & open fires.
None of our briquettes contain additives or chemicals. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
