The All-Rounder Ready Mix

Welcome to our new Ready Mix pallet, The All-Rounder – a selection of our best Nestro briquettes on one pallet.

Made from:

• Waxling Firelighters are made from fine, kiln dried pine strands (wood wool) coated in candle wax. They are 100% natural, chemical free and odourless, so no smell on your fingers after handling, and they’re completely safe to use.
• Hotmax is made in the UK from softwood fines (sawdust and bark) extracted whilst making dust free horse bedding. The wood used is all from sustainably managed British forestry and the Hotmax cobs are made using a product that would have otherwise gone to landfill.
• Aspen Briquettes are made from clean, kiln-dried aspen sawdust. The sawdust is a byproduct from sauna manufacturing; trees are not felled specifically to make these briquettes. They are well compressed with minimal dust. A lovely pale golden colour, with a gentle outer sheen from their excellent, high compression levels, these briquettes are as attractive as they are effective.
• UK Hardwood Briquettes are small, easy to break cylinders made in England by a company producing hardwood furniture
• Woodlets Heat Logs are manufactured by the same company behind our best selling Woodlets Briquettes, the new larger Heat Logs are made from mixed softwoods, compressed into dense, large, cylindrical briquettes. The sawdust comes from sustainably managed British forests all within 40 miles of the factory.
• Beech Nestro are made from fine ground pure beech sawdust generated as a by-product from furniture, floor and house frame manufacture.

Burning characteristics:

• A Waxling Firelighter burns for about 8-10 minutes, which is long enough to light any well-built wood fire. Because they’re densely bound, just one in the middle of a handful of cobs or kindlers lights easily. Sometimes you’ll find a Waxling that’s a bit too tightly bound – don’t worry, just twist it a little first to loosen the outer fibres.
• Hotmax Two or three cobs will produce fast heat and flame, leaving a good ember base. Use a handful of Hotmax with a Waxling firelighter in the centre to get the fire going quickly. They do expand slightly, so place them carefully in the fire so they don’t expand onto the glass window or hearth.
• Aspen Briquettes are large, nestro style heat logs with a hole down the middle of them. This makes them very versatile and easy to use. Broken into small pieces they are excellent for starting the fire; in halves or thirds they are a pleasantly hot, long-burning main fuel. They are perfect for general burning and do not have as fierce a heat as briquettes such as Beech Nestro and Pini-Kay. This means it’s easy to control the heat output. With controlled airflow, they can burn for hours while still giving out good, steady heat. Aspen in briquette form is an excellent firewood and has none of the drawbacks of aspen in traditional log form. It does not spit or pop, and is long burning. As with most nestro briquettes, Aspen briquettes will expand when burning, so unless you have a large stove we recommend you break them in half by tapping two together.
• UK Hardwood Briquettes are easy to light and quick to reach a high operating temperature, which enables your stove to work at maximum efficiency. They burn with a lively flame to start with, then turn red hot and provide a good steady heat for a couple of hours. UK Hardwood Briquettes will expand lengthways as they burn, so place them across your fire rather than pointing towards the hearth.
• Woodlets Heat Logs are a dense briquette weighing around 2kg , and is perfect for all stoves and open fires. Generating excellent heat with an attractive flame, you can expect an active burn time of 1.5 – 2 hours. Because they’re relatively easy to break they can be used on all sizes of stove or open fire.
• Beech Nestro are acclaimed by many to be the best briquette in Europe. They are made from pure beech hardwood ground to a fine particle size and densely compacted into 4 x 2.5kg briquettes per 10kg pack. They are exceptionally clean to handle even when broken. Burnt whole or cracked into smaller sections they generate a good flame and burn for several hours with a lovely hot glow. Truly the best main fuel briquette you will ever experience.

The All-Rounder is perfect for:

Those who like the versatility of Nestro briquettes and getting the most out of their stove. Easy to light and simple to keep burning, this mixture of briquettes will suit most stoves & open fires.

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