Small Stove Mix
Current picture is not yet updated: please see description for contents.
From time to time we may substitute products with others that are equally suited to the small stove mix and of equal or greater value.
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.
- Everyday Value are made from mixed hardwoods in England
- Hardwood Pini-Kay are pini-kay briquettes made from oak and hornbeam
- Hotmax are made from the waste fines (bark and wood) left over from the manufacture of horse bedding shavings.
- Kindling Sticks are made from kiln dried softwoods in Scotland
- RUF Bricks are a dense spruce briquette produced in England
- Woodlets Heat Logs are made from mixed softwoods in Scotland
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.
- Hardwood Pini-Kay are easily cracked into smaller sections if required, but they do not expand and so are easy to use on a small stove. They light easily and burn long and hot with an excellent flame. Highly suitable for the smaller stove of around 5kw. The bark content leaves more ash, which in turn helps with long burn time.
- Everyday Value 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. Everyday Value Briquettes will expand lengthways as they burn, so place them across your fire rather than pointing towards the hearth.
- Hotmax can be used as a kindling to light or revive any fire. Being quite small they also make an ideal main fuel for small stoves under 5kw. They can be variable in density with the harder denser briquettes being best for using as a main fuel whilst the softer lighter ones are best for use as a kindling.
- Woodlets Heat Logs are perfect for all stoves and open fires. Generating excellent heat with an attractive flame, you can expect an active burn time of 1.5 – 2 hours. Because they’re easy to break they can be used on all sizes of stove or open fire.
- RUF Bricks give out a steady heat with a nice flame, these are really easy-to-use-briquettes. They burn for around 45 mins – 1.5 hours depending on airflow and give off good heat for the duration of their burn time.
- Kindling Sticks are an old-fashioned favourite, our kindlers are clean, dry and easy to light. They will burn quicker than Hotmax or other cobs but will ignite a well-laid wood based fire easily and effectively.
Perfect for:
An easy to use mix of products that are ideal for a small stove. Easy to light and giving good heat over a long period, this mixture of briquettes will suit most small stoves.
None of our briquettes contain additives or chemicals. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
