Troubleshooting
Briquettes not burning efficiently
Ensure briquettes are dry and have been stored correctly. Check that your appliance has sufficient airflow. Try using a small amount of kindling to get them started.
Too much smoke
This may indicate insufficient airflow or that the briquettes are not yet fully ignited. Open air vents on your appliance and ensure the briquettes are burning with a strong flame.
Ash buildup too quickly
While Simpa briquettes produce minimal ash, some buildup is normal. Ensure you are following the recommended quantity for your appliance and cleaning regularly as per your stove's manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These briquettes are suitable for use in most wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, and wood burners designed for solid fuel. Always consult your appliance's manual to ensure compatibility with fuel briquettes.
Setup: Ensure your stove or fireplace is clean and has adequate airflow for efficient burning. Place 1-3 briquettes onto a bed of ash or directly onto the grate, depending on the size of your appliance and desired heat output. Light with a firelighter or kindling as you would with traditional logs.
Care: To maintain the quality and burning efficiency of your Simpa Wood Fuel Briquettes, it is crucial to store them in a dry place. Exposure to moisture can cause them to degrade and burn less effectively. Avoid storing them directly on concrete floors or in damp environments. Keep the packaging sealed when not in use.
