Fuel Briquettes
The perfect option for your stove or firepit
It is no longer allowed by law to burn wet wood because of the damage it does to our atmosphere. Burning unseasoned wood is one of the top contributors to pollution, causing damage to the environment and also to our health. That’s why briquettes have soared in popularity due to their practical as well as carbon credentials.
Moisture in a fire releases harmful particles into the atmosphere and literally burns money away as the fire has to work harder to get rid of it, resulting in a less effective fire with more fuel required. This is why Woodgen briquettes are the perfect option as they are kind to the environment and pocket.

About Woodgen Briquettes
Woodgen briquettes are ‘RUF’ briquettes, which means that they are produced using an RUF briquette machine that compresses low moisture woodchip into briquettes.
Quality product in = quality product out.
Woodgen is produced by hydraulically powered RUF machines, producing briquettes to specific sizes under high pressure. There are no additives, just the low percentage moisture waste wood material compacted into a neat log.
This process ensures that the briquettes remain a natural product throughout the production process. Our briquettes reach a high temperature, burn longer and are a cleaner burn, producing less ash.

Once the flames begin to intensify then you can add another Woodgen Briquette.

You can now close your stove door and enjoy the flames, once they have caught fire you can reduce the air intake to a minimal.
Benefits for the Supplier
Question: Who are Woodgen briquettes aimed at?
Answer: Anyone who loves a fire!
With the Government’s change of legislation on burning coal and wood, solutions like Woodgen are now more important than ever, but are they a compromise on experience?
The answer is most definitely no! In fact, Woodgen briquettes are so much easier to use with just as much (if not more) performance, than more traditional fuels.
If you have a log burner, stove, pizza oven, chiminea or firepit, it’s well worth giving these a try.
We constantly get feedback that once customers have tried briquettes, they don’t turn back. Away from the home, we find businesses also prefer them too, particularly holiday home owners who have to leave their stoves in the hands of inexperienced holiday makers!
