BRIQUETTESLausitzer REKORD briquettes are pressed from dried brown coal without the use of any binding agent. They offer a uniformly high quality that is continually checked in the laboratory. Look for the ‘REKORD’ brand name when you're purchasing – it’s the sign of high-quality briquettes from Lausitz (Lusatia).
The correct initial heat is important when using brown coal briquettes. Suitable firelighters and a sufficient amount of kindling should be used. Briquettes ignite best on an evenly hot bed of embers. Once they ignite, they are characterised by their long-burning, quietly flickering play of flames. REKORD briquettes do not have to be put on the fire as often as wood logs due to their high energy content, and the embers remain comfortably warm overnight. This makes them the ideal fuel for long evenings in front of the fire and in the cold season, when the flames should not only entertain but give out a long even heat. |
In general: Due to the high proportion of solids, when burning brown coal briquettes instead of wood more air for combustion
must be supplied through the grate at the bottom of the firebox. Brown coal briquettes are therefore only approved for heating appliances having a grate in the bottom of the firebox and an ash box. When
the air is correctly regulated, a proportion of it flows around the briquettes from below. The remaining air is fed into the chamber in the same way as already described for the wood logs.
