Wood briquettes are made of dry, untreated wood chips: wood shavings... They are pressed with high pressure without any binder. By compacting the wood with this high pressure, it turns into a fuel like brown coal.
Wood briquettes are manufactured logs made up of compressed wood by products and make a great alternative to traditional firewood logs. They are ideal if you have a wood burning stove and are looking for an efficient and effective form of fuel. They also have the added bonus of being very easy to store.
Wood briquettes can be made by compressing together hardwood, softwood or a mixture of the two. It’s important to look for high quality briquettes which only contain 100% wood, without any other ingredients. The lignan molecules in the wood melt under intense pressure to bind together the wood and the dust, forming a dense solid block. Briquettes can also be formed from other materials such as charcoal, peat and coffee.
The best quality briquettes are made from 100% wood, which is free from contaminants like glue or paint. The production process is also key to creating top class briquettes as intense pressure is needed to form them.
This is essential for high quality briquettes as denser logs have longer burn times and retain their shape well. Poorly compacted briquettes may appear cheaper, but their quick burn time makes them an expensive option in the long run. These briquettes can also burn at a very high temperature and have the potential to damage some wood burners if the heat output is too high.
It’s also worth looking out for a hole in the centre of the briquette which encourages the airflow needed for a consistent burn which keeps your fire aglow. As all wood briquettes have different characteristics, the ‘best’ briquette for you will depend on your aim and your stove.
However, a high quality wood briquette will always prove to be a more cost effective and efficient choice over cheap alternatives.
