RUF Oak Briquettes

Description

RUF oak briquettes are compressed wood fuel made mainly from oak sawdust and other wood byproducts. They are known for their high energy efficiency, low ash content, and eco-friendliness, making them an excellent alternative to traditional firewood or coal. Here are some of their key features:

**Key Features:**

1. **High Density and Energy Output:**
– Produced through high pressure, which results in a dense and compact briquette with a high calorific value.
Produces more heat and burns for a longer period as compared to regular firewood.

2. **Low Moisture Content:**

Usually contains 8–10% moisture, ensuring that it burns efficiently with minimal smoke.

3. **Environmentally Friendly:**
Manufactured from renewable resources such as wood byproducts, which reduces waste.
– No additives and no binders are added so they are safe to the environment.
4. Low Ash Residue:
Minimal ash generation rate, below 1% resulting in less amount of clean up.
5. Convenience:
Uniform shape and size such as rectangular and brick shaped ones can be placed and stacked
Lighter and compact saves storage space.

6. Wide Application

– Suitable for fireplaces, wood stoves, chimineas, and outdoor fire pits.
– Can also be used in boilers and biomass heating systems.

**Advantages Over Firewood:**

– Burns hotter and longer.
– Easier to transport and store.
– More sustainable and eco-friendly option.

They are made without glue, adhesives, or chemicals, with the only compression that keeps them in shape.

**Key Features:**

– **High Energy Output:** These briquettes have a calorific value of approximately 4.9 kWh/kg, providing substantial heat for extended periods.

Low Ash Content: They emit less ash, normally less than 1%, hence ensuring clean burning and low maintenance.

Moisture Content: Having a maximum moisture content of less than 8%, RUF Oak Briquettes assure the spender of good burn with consistent heat output.

Manufactured from by-products of untreated wood, the production is renewable and helps in the conservation of the environment.

**Usage Recommendations:**

RUF Oak Briquettes are suitable for use in stoves, fireplaces, and open fires. Being denser, they can burn for up to two to four hours with variable airflow, maintaining a constant output of heat. They are also at their most effective when placed to the rear of the fire, where they act as a ‘heat sink’ in maintaining a consistent fire core.

**Availability:**

While RUF Oak Briquettes are widely available in the UK and parts of Europe, their availability in Cameroon may be limited. Local suppliers of alternative eco-friendly briquettes or firewood may be more accessible.

Those interested in buying RUF Oak Briquettes can find them online from retailers such as Evolution Rubber Products, which sells them in packs of 12 blocks, each weighing approximately 833 grams.
