Where can I use Eco Wood Briquettes?

Our eco wood briquettes can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as:

Easy to Use

Using our willow wood briquettes is easy!

To maximise performance and safety, load 1-3 eco briquettes depending on the size of your appliance. We find that loading to roughly half of the capacity of your firebox is ideal, but see what works best for you.

Please note that these eco briquettes will expand in the fire and burn much hotter than traditional logs, so it’s important not to overload your firebox to ensure proper ventilation and optimal burning conditions.

Top tips for using your eco wood briquettes:

1.

Load 1-3 briquettes at a time, don't overfill

2.

Build the fire with an open airflow

3.

Gradually increase the heat output

One eco wood briquette can provide 1-3+ hours of warmth depending on your heating appliance and burn settings. Refer to manufacturer guidance for optimal results.

How to use your Eco Wood Briquettes
Follow our simple steps for starting and maintaining a fire to enjoy the full benefits of our eco wood briquettes.

For best results, we recommend:

  1. Open the airflow fully to ensure proper ventilation.

  2. Place 1-2 wood firelighters in the middle of the grate and build a ‘jenga’ or ‘tent’ structure with kindling on top.


  3. Light the firelighter(s) and close the door for a few minutes until the fire is properly established.


  4. Once the fire is established, add 1-3 wood briquettes to steadily build your fire.


  5. Adjust the airflow settings for heat efficiency as per your stove manufacturer's instructions.


  6. Refuel as required, ensuring not to overload your appliance.

Important Tips
  1. Avoid overloading your wood burner or stove as our eco briquettes burn much hotter than traditional fire logs. Start with just 1 wood briquette until you're familiar with its performance.
  2. Make sure the eco briquettes do not touch the glass of your stove, and the door is properly closed.
  3. Don’t forget to keep your ash tray clear and chimney clean for best performance and a smoke-free burn.
Heat Release Time

Heat release time varies between appliances, ranging from 1 hour to over 3 hours. This is based on factors such as air inflow settings, number of briquettes loaded, outside temperature, and appliance size. 

You can build a bed of ash underneath to make your eco wood briquettes last longer into the night. Experiment to find the ideal setting for your appliance and environmental conditions.

How many briquettes should I use at once?
