How kitchens and shops use it

Birch briquettes give you an even bed of heat for low-and-slow cooks and steady grilling. Light them together with lumpwood when you want extra heat and wood flavour. For restaurant service and the longest burn in our range, see HazelHex briquette pallets. Want to test them first? Buy single 10kg bags.

Delivery and storage

Pallets are delivered by pallet network to your door. Standard trade delivery is 2–3 working days, so reorder when you are down to about a week's stock. Store bags off the floor and under cover: briquettes pick up moisture from damp floors, and damp fuel lights slower and burns cooler.
