Briquettes made from biomass are a great substitute for coal, since they are made of natural materials and do not add to the pollution in the world. Briquetted fuel can be used by the industrial, commercial and household sectors. Visit our document to know more about the wood briquettes.
2. Wood briquettes (not to be confused with coal or
charcoal briquettes) are a wood fuel made from
compressed dry sawdust and/or wood chips. They
will usually have less than 10% moisture content.
Wood briquettes are much hotter, cleaner, longer
burning and more economical than traditional logs.
What Are Briquettes
Wood briquettes burn up to 50% hotter than logs
but as not as hot as coal, meaning they can cause
lasting damage when burnt exclusively in a wood-
burning stove as these products haven’t been
designed to deal with such temperatures.
3. They are easy to use, store, and transport.
They are also typically more cost-effective than
logs and can be used alone or with firewood.
They are great for open fire cooking and give
off very little smoke and ash too.
The smaller the particles, the tighter and
denser the briquette
Why To Use Briquettes?
4. Use smaller briquettes
when you want to get the
fire started or need a quick
burst of heat. Use large
briquettes when you’re
looking for a longer, slower
burn.
How To Check The Quality
Of Briquettes?
They are 100% wood so
burn just like wood with a
very pleasing flame. Don’t
hesitate to mix them with
other logs or use them on
their own. You can also use
briquettes for a very good
campfire, barbeque or other
wood-burning outdoor and
open fires.
5. Storing Briquettes
As biomass briquettes are so dry, they readily absorb
water which then makes them crumble apart. It’s
therefore very important to ensure the sacks of
briquettes are stored in a dry place. Don’t rely on
packaging to keep the briquettes dry if left outside in
the rain. Plastic sacks can be easily torn or punctured
and once wet briquettes cannot be burnt.
