Large Stove Mix
Our Large Stove mix is designed specifically for bigger, greedy stoves.
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.
- Roastie Toasties are bags pf pre-snapped Woodlets briquettes, which are softwood briquettes made in Scotland.
- Lewis RUF are economic but excellent RUF blocks, made in Canada from white pine.
- Woodlets Nestro are made in Scotland from softwood forest thinnings.
- BushBlok are made by the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia from acacia scrub cleared to maintain Cheetah habitat.
- 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.
- Roastie Toasties can be used as a kindling to light or revive any fire. They can be variable in length with the longer briquettes being best for using as a main fuel whilst the shorter ones are best for use as a kindling.
- Lewis RUF are a great RUF block. They are made from highly compacted softwood with no bark and a fine particle size. Ideal used in a V shape to start the fire. They light easily and burn for a couple of hours with an excellent flame. Being pure softwood with no bark they have a low ash content.
- Woodlets Nestro are made in Scotland from softwood forest thinnings. They are very dense cylindrical briquette with a hole through the middle to encourage airflow.
- BushBlok are an excellent pini-kay briquette. Made from scrub, they have a high bark content, which means they produce more ash, helping them burn for longer. Many customers find they will stay in overnight, as well as produce excellent heat for general burning. They burn with a lovely flame, for a couple of hours before glowing for a couple more hours.
- 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, making them popular with asthma sufferers. 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.

Packaging
All these briquettes come in a plastic outer. Please check with your local authority for recycling facilities.
The briquetting industry uses plastic to wrap wood briquettes in order to ensure they stay dry, as damp briquettes break up and are unsuitable for burning. The environmental impact of our products is important to us, so we are constantly working with our suppliers to improve the sustainability of their packaging by using cardboard in place of plastic wherever possible.
