DESCRIPTION

The briquettes must be kept dry. The shrink-wrap is not waterproof. Bricks will expand and crumble when wet. 

Brick Size: approximately 2-1/2″ x 4″ x 6. Pallet Sizes available: 1 ton (918 bricks to a ton). Bricks are shrink-wrapped in packs of nine, stacked and palletized in each unit. Tarp provided to cover pallet from weather elements, but we still recommend that bricks are not stored outdoors.

Comparing the wood briquettes with firewood is not an apple-to-apple evaluation. A cord of firewood can contain different species of wood with varying moisture levels. So, the following comparison contains some generalities. Approximately 1 lb. of compressed wood briquettes is equivalent to 1.7 lbs. of firewood. Wood briquettes provide approximately 7500 BTU’s per pound while firewood produces about 4,000 — 7,000/BTU’s per pound. Ash content is about 2-6 times higher in firewood. A cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet, while wood briquettes use only 30 cubic feet.

There are approximately 864 briquettes per one-ton pallet. Shrink wrapped packets of nine are stacked and palletized in each unit. The briquettes must be kept dry. The shrink-wrap is not waterproof. However, we provide two pallet covers with each ton for your convenience, to keep them dry. Pick up hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. through noon and 12:30 through 3:30. Please give us a call to schedule deliveries.

Excelsior’s wood briquettes are made from kiln-dried sawdust that burns nice and hot. Be sure to adjust airflow to lengthen burn times and prevent overheating. Wood briquettes expand when they burn – do not overfill. Please reach out to your wood stove manufacturer to see if they recommend using this product.
