UK RUF

UK RUF briquettes are a dense softwood briquette produced in England.

Their rich reddish brown colour is due to the mixture of softwoods used. They may contain some bark but they are not suitable for keeping a stove in overnight.

Because they’re square, RUF blocks don’t roll in the hearth, so they’re easy and safe to use in an open fire.

Burning characteristics:

Giving out a steady heat with a nice flame, these are really easy-to-use-briquettes. They burn for around two hours depending on airflow and give off good heat for the duration of their burn time.

UK RUF are Perfect for:

UK RUF are great to get the fire going, used as a ‘heat sink’ in the back of the fire, where they will glow for a couple of hours and help create a really good heart in your fire. Many people also use RUF blocks as a sole fuel throughout the burn. However, they do not generate the high and consistent heat of something like Pini-Kay or Beech Nestro. They are a handy size so are excellent on a smaller stove or open fire.

Our briquettes are all additive-free. They are made from pure, untreated wood by-product and are held together by compression alone.
