Lets discuss benefits of RUF briquettes

Instead of using traditional firewood, you can use RUF briquettes, which are more eco-friendly and long-lasting. RUF briquettes, which are made from 100% natural wood waste, are a convenient and efficient source of heat for your home or business.

Each RUF briquette and Wholesale Wood is small and lightweight, making them ideal for use in a fireplace or wood stove. They burn clean and hot, producing little smoke and ash, and are simple to light and maintain.

RUF briquettes are also an inexpensive option. Because of their high energy density, they produce a lot of warmth while using a small amount of fuel, and they keep going for hours.
2: What Exactly Are Briquettes?

Briquettes, also known as heat logs, eco logs, or fire blocks, are made of recycled wood waste, primarily softwoods but occasionally hardwoods. More specifically, wood waste is typically sawdust generated by the timber industry that is repurposed rather than discarded. This wood is typically compressed at high pressure until it forms a compact and incredibly dense briquette shape, and then kiln dried until it reaches incredibly low moisture content levels.

When it comes to value, the RUF briquette is unbeatable. RUF blocks, despite their humble appearance, are the most user-friendly option available because they are so simple to break and light. These are an affordable option for all wood-burning needs and budgets. We recommend this option for smaller homes, vacation cottages, and log cabins with smaller stoves, as the Heat Logs are the perfect size and their stackable shape allows them to fit into any storage space.

3: Are RUF briquettes any good?

RUF Oak is excellent for general burning and starting fires. They're a good size for a smaller stove or open fire, but they're also big enough for larger stoves. Briquettes made from oak sawdust are of exceptional quality. A minimum of three briquettes should be loaded at any given time.

How do I choose wood briquettes?

Different briquettes have different combustion properties, making some more appropriate for different stages of your fire's life.

Some are great for starting a fire; others are great for a nice hot flame during the day; and still others are designed to burn slowly at night.

Each stove is unique due to airflow, flue configuration, and, most importantly, weather conditions. We only discovered that there is no such thing as a "best" briquette for everyone. The best option is to try a few and see what works for you.

4: Is the briquette dusty or brittle?

The pressure under which the wood is briquetted is referred to as "compression." High compression is preferable because these briquettes are denser and less dusty.

Low-quality machines produce cheap and dusty briquettes. We avoid them because they frequently deter people from smoking briquettes.

High-quality briquettes are made with large, expensive machines that use extremely high forces to achieve a density of over 1000 kg/m3. As a result, briquettes with a high calorific value that retain their shape and burn for an extended period of time are produced

5: How much water is in the briquette?

Lumpwood Charcoal typically have a moisture content (water content) of less than 10%. The majority of high-quality briquettes are dried to less than 6% moisture content.

In comparison, traditional logs are considered smokable when the moisture content is less than 20%, and most winter-bought logs have around 30% moisture content. That's a lot of water to evaporate, and a very expensive way to get it.

In general, the dryer, the better. Prior to the fuel producing heat, the purpose of combustion is to generate heat, not to remove moisture. However, dry but poorly compacted briquettes burn too quickly. While they are frequently inexpensive, they are of low value when compared to densely compacted but necessarily more expensive briquettes.
