Beech Nestro

Made from:

Beech Nestro are made in Germany from pure beech grindings, which produce a dense, low dust briquette. The beech sawdust comes from a company producing high-end beech products and structures. These Beech Nestro are quite simply the best briquette we have ever found – probably the best briquette in the world.

Burning characteristics:

Each chunky log weighs around 2.5kg, so they’re great for bigger stoves. For smaller stoves, just break them into half before using. This is easy to do, – break them by sharply tapping two of the heat logs together. They’re very highly compressed, so they produce almost no dust and this density helps them burn for several hours. Best of all, they also produce huge amounts of heat with an attractive flame. They expand by about 25% as they burn, so place them across the firebox and just use small amounts until you’re confident with their burning characteristics on your particular stove or fire. Two will last up to four hours with excellent heat and flame characteristics. They generate a consistent heat so you don’t have to be up and down loading the stove or adjusting the air flow.

Perfect for:

Great for both stoves and open fires.  For most stoves we recommend breaking them in half, as they will expand a little while burning.

None of our briquettes contain additives or chemicals. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
