I would always treat pallets of briquettes in a warehouse with caution. Unless it is a heated warehouse it is likely to be damp and briquettes like wood pellets have a nasty habit of absorbing moisture. Its the main reason I do not supply to the trade as I cannot guarantee the storage conditions.

I'm soooo glad i only do briquettes on a small scale and stay with local stockists. Loads and loads of the big setups calling in to every potential stockist around here with very little luck from what i can gather as they all love the idea of the "local" thing. I dread to think what stock some of these big concerns must be holding after this mild winter. I dont think this will be the last of this sort of Ad put up for "Briquettes" and "cheap" somewhere in the pitch. As we speak I'm completely out of stock but will be running the old girl all day tommorow to put a few in stock.

Thanks Phil

These are a by-product of their own business. Interesting that people don't want them They burn them themselves for factory heating but can't burn 'em all.

 

Guess it's the free market economy and supply and demand. Mild winter - 'overstock' - sub-zero winter; 'out of stock'

 

I'm sure they'll shift them before the daffs appear

How many briquettes do you get in a box? What size are the briquettes?

The trouble is that there is as much variation in briquettes as there is in logs, and depending on the way they've been made and the machine they've been made in, they could be great or they could be rubbish. We've had "home made" briquettes from a flooring manufacturer in the past, and while the ingredients were spot on, the cheap second hand adapted paper press they were using made very soft briquettes - and we could get through 15 kilos an evening with no bother at all. With good briquettes in the same stove, we probably use no more than 6 kilos in the same period. This made the "cheap" briquettes actually almost twice the price in real terms.

 

I'd guess that if they were making them mainly for their own use, they wouldn't have bothered with the cost of a good briquetting plant, which would be well over £100k.
