Firewood Alternative - Wood Briquettes
Our company manufacturers Thermawood, which is a wood briquette alternative produced from kiln-dried hardwood sawdust. These type of products don't have the same risks of bugs or infestation and offer many of the same benefits as firewood. Best of all, no additives are used so you can still cook over it in the campfire application!
