Wood Briquettes, Firewood Briquettes, Heat Logs, Fire Logs, Smokeless Logs – call them what you like! They are slowly but surely becoming the wonder fuel of the open fire and wood burning stove.
At London Gases we like to call them Wood Briquettes as they are all made from wood and they are briquettes! Their popularity is fully founded on the fact that they are they are a clean, efficient and modern alternative or accompaniment to traditional firewood logs, and can be used in all stoves and open fires, as well as outdoor firepits and chimineas.
Their beauty is that they are comprised of 100% wood with no additives of any kind; they are classed as a carbon neutral fuel, and are therefore much kinder to the environment than fossil fuels. Generally they are produced from wood wastes that would have traditionally been sent to landfill.
Fire wood briquettes are produced by subjecting sawdust and wood chips/shavings to extremely high pressures – up to 80 tons per square inch. This causes the lignins and resins present in the wood to heat up and soften, and they then act as a natural "glue" which holds the briquettes together. There are no extras of any sort added to the recipe – no glues, preservatives or anything else. The end product is much drier and denser than normal firewood, and so contains more energy and produces less smoke and ash. Depending on the firewood in question – these briquettes may contain over four times the energy of the same weight of wood.
Many of the briquettes on sale in the UK are imported – most of them from Eastern Europe However, we can proudly say that all our briquettes are produced here in the UK.

Peat Briquettes
Irish Peat is an all natural fuel produced from Irish boglands. Undrained raw peat consists of 95% water and 5% organic solid material. The solids are composed of the partly decayed remains of a variety of marsh/swamp plants and trees such as sphagnum mosses, birch woods, waterlilies, grasses and reeds.
Peat is harvested in blocks and then compressed, which removes approximately 90% of the water and air. This process creates a dried, condensed brick of peat which burns hotter, cleaner and longer. Ireland considers peat to be a smokeless fuel and has been using it for many years as a coal alternative.
The compressed natural peat bale is cut into small sections called “briquettes” . The dimensions are roughly 19cm x 7cm.
Peat briquettes are a 100% natural product with no additives or binders. They produce very little ash and have very low sulphur content. They also do not spark or crackle so are very safe. Peat’s pièce de résistance is of course it’s lovely aroma when burned. It’s got to be smelt to be believed!
