Product Information

Yes, you will certainly need a metal bucket, and leave them long enough to completely cool before you dispose of them. In actual fact because they burn so easily, they can be a great way to light fires even if you only intend on using one to get the fire started and then proceed with another type of fuel.

Some environmental organisations and scientists have pointed out that the large-scale removal of peat from bogs in Britain, Ireland and Finland is destroying wildlife habitats. The Bord na Mona briquettes need to be kept under shelter as they will disintegrate if left exposed. We have a heavily extracted (dead) bog nearby and I have seen people digging out sods of peat for burning.

Its wonderful aroma is instantly recognizable, and its long burning properties and steady heat mean that it is still highly in demand as a fuel product. We take pride in the knowledge that we can deliver you traditional Irish peat which cannot be matched by coal or wood. The peat briquettes supplied by Liverpool Wood Pellets are easy to light with firelighters as they are a lot dryer than turf or other comparable products.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Today we have a howling gale, lashings of rain and I type this by the side of a good (coal not logs, too wet to get the chain saw out) open fire. Peat briquettes will provide a long burn time of up to three hours, but can also be used in a closed appliance to keep a fire ‘in’ overnight or to rekindle a dying flame. Our peat is all sourced from Ireland and is from an area where there are open marsh lands that produce some of the best peat in the UK.
