Frequenty Asked Questions
Are they for starting or maintaining a fire?
As the WillowWarm Briquette is one of the most heavy and dense fuel types in the market, is ideal for maintaining your fire.
Do WillowWarm briquettes produce more heat than traditional briquettes?
Because they contain less moisture, WillowWarm products offer a cleaner burn with “high heat efficiency.” By “high heat efficiency,” we mean that when dried, fuels like ours burn, a higher percentage of the heat goes directly towards the heat output, rather than the drying of the fuel first. As no energy is needed to first evaporate water in the fuel, dried fuel provides the most consistent operating cost. With its low moisture content, WillowWarm products therefore give off more heat per unit burned and a higher heat efficiency, resulting in a long, clean burn.
Does WillowWarm produce ash?
WillowWarm briquettes produce less than 3% ash and no sulphur, leaving you with less cleaning of your chimney and surrounding areas. Any ash that is produced by these 100% natural products can be disposed of in the garden with no adverse effect to plant life, making them clean for both your home and the environment.
These briquettes are made from willow and other “sustainably farmed wood.” What is this?
We have engaged with the leading sustainable forestry harvesters to collect the remaining tree residues that would normally be left to rot in a recently harvested forest. This means that we do not cut down any trees as a part of our process; instead, we prevent waste by using these forest residuals that would otherwise be discarded and left to rot. This technique is new to the industry, increasing efficiency and sustainability in forestry.
How long do WillowWarm Briquettes burn for?
Once established in a fire setting, one briquette should last for well over an hour.
Is the packaging on WillowWarm environmentally friendly?
WillowWarm is a Certified Member of Repak under the European Packaging Regulations 2014. All of our packaging is fully recyclable and can be placed in your recycling bin.
As our product has a moisture content of less than 10% and is made of organic matter, this means that the material is hyroscopic. (it is looking for water).
To keep the product completely sealed, we needed to heat seal the packaging to ensure the product arrives intact to your fireplace or stove.
How should WillowWarm Briquettes be stored?
Our WillowWarm Briquette product is hydroscopic as it is dried to less than 10% moisture – and water is it’s enemy so keep it DRY. WillowWarm Briquettes should ideally be stored indoors, but if stored outdoors it should be positioned off the ground in a fully covered rainproof container. If WillowWarm is kept dry it will provide you with a long, clean burn.
