Pini Kay heat logs have a no-roll shape, don't expand when burning, and create beautiful flames.

Pini-Kay Logs are a popular premium wood briquette type that is loved by millions of customers all over Europe and the world.

Also known as PK heat logs or octagonal chiminea logs, these briquettes feature a distinctive eight-sided shape with a central opening that creates a chimney effect within the briquette itself.

Pros of Pini Kay Briquettes

Here are just some of the things that make Pini Kay Logs a unique and interesting addition to your product catalog.

Octagonal, “No-Roll” Shape

Unlike traditional circular heat logs, which often roll over when burning, Pini Kay logs have a unique octagonal shape that prevents them from moving as they burn. This means the end customer doesn't need to worry about tending to the fire as much.

No Expand Form Factor

Unlike many other briquette types, Pini Kay logs don't expand when they are burned. This makes them easy and convenient to use for everyone. Including people who have never used briquettes before.

Chimney-Effect-Creating Ventilation Opening

The bore at the center of each Pini Kay logs creates a chimney effect within the log itself. The air rushes through the core of the log. This allows it to ignite quickly and burn beautifully.

How Are Pini Kay Logs Manufactured?

Wood Fuel Market's pini kay briquettes are made by putting 100% pure hardwood sawdust through a specialized industrial briquetting machine. We use only clean wood shavings from hardwood trees (e.g. oak, beech, ash, birch). The material is put into the briquetting machine that uses a mechanical pressing rod to compress it to the desired octagonal shape and 5.1 kWh/kg density. The material is extruded continuously, and a specialized guillotine cuts it into briquettes that measure precisely 23 cm in length.

No glues, binders, or chemicals are ever added to our pini kay logs. The briquettes are held together by the lignin that is naturally contained in the sawdust.
