Our Ecofire HotRods are made by a heavy-duty mechanical press using virgin material from our sawmilling production. These briquettes are extremely dense, long-lasting, and very dry.

These wood briquettes are perfect for use in many applications including open fires, multi-fuel stoves, chimineas, and many more, and unlike traditional firewood, Ecofire HotRods produce heat almost immediately due to their incredibly low moisture content.

They are made almost exclusively from oak with a little larch mixed in to help with the natural binding process - no chemicals or other additives are used in this process, these briquettes are the most ecologically sound means of heating your home and are completely carbon-neutral.

When burning our briquettes please remember that to achieve maximum burn time and effective heat output they should be left alone once burning, do not poke the fire, or burn time will reduce. The briquettes will expand naturally once alight (exposing each piston stroke from the mechanical production process) so it is best to start the fire with a moderate amount of briquettes to allow for expansion and then marvel at how such a small amount of this superb briquette can produce so much heat.

You will find that the Ecofire briquettes burn with a hugely pleasant flame, to begin with, which then changes to a highly efficient and calorific glow phase once the flames have disappeared. If burnt in a stove with properly controlled airflow these briquettes can throw out huge amounts of heat for hours.

This listing is for a large bulk bag, although we do supply our Ecofire HotRods in an extra large bulk bag as well as more convenient boxes (see below). A large bulk bag weighs approximately 500kg, however, this is an approximation as the weight is somewhat variable due to natural material differences and moisture content.
