At Thor’s Hammer we do our best to minimise waste. While our whole business is built around salvaging ‘waste’ timber from demolition sites, we also collect our furniture and dressed timber offcuts for firewood and our waste sawdust gets turned into briquettes for home fireplaces.
Firewood
Good sized, solid offcuts
From the same quality dry recycled Australian hardwood we use to make our custom timber furniture and flooring. When we de-nail our recycled timbers we have rejects and off cuts which don’t make the grade. These are docked to lengths from 150mm to 350mm long and stacked neatly on a pallet. The timber is very dry and burns really well. Perfect to keep you warm through the winter!
For easy pick up, we can load the pallet with our forklift as long as your trailer or vehicle can fit 1200mm wide.
Details
Pallet of dry recycled hardwood offcuts for firewood, between 0.6 ton - 0.75 ton depending on species.
1.2m x 1.2m x 0.7m high.
Offcuts docked to 300-350mm long with some shorter pieces included. Section size mostly 100x50mm or larger.

Fire Briquettes
We turn our waste sawdust from furniture production into highly efficient, clean burning, fire briquettes for use in your wood heater.
Using immense hydraulic pressure we compress the sawdust into fire briquettes resulting in a high density product with a very low moisture content (10 - 12%). The natural lignins in the timber bind the briquettes together.
No glue, no additives, just pure recycled hardwood sawdust.
The result is a clean burning, cost efficient, environmentally friendly heat source for your home. And you can give away your axe! Check out all the benefits of our briquettes below:
Super Efficient & Cost Effective
Use less fuel to heat your home, get a hotter fire with less ash and creosote build up in your flue. The smaller particles and lower moisture content of briquettes compared to firewood - means you will burn less fuel and create more heat using super dense and dry fire briquettes.
The moisture content of commercially available firewood commonly ranges from 20 - 30%, our fire briquettes are 12% moisture content or below - meaning you’re paying for more fuel, and less water. And the super dry briquettes light and burn more easily.
Fire briquettes are hugely popular in Europe for their convenience, efficiency and sustainability. Read what The Guardian has to say about the benefits and popularity of fire bricks here.
Convenient
No more firewood deliveries dumped in your driveway left for you to stack, no more axe.
Our fire briquettes are delivered on a 1 tonne pallet, and they can be delivered into your carport or garage* in Canberra, ready to throw on your fire. Or for the occasional fire buy a sample box of 12-14.
*forklift has clearance and surface gradient restrictions, more details on the order form.
Environmentally Friendly
Made from sawdust from a recycled timber mill with no glue or additives. The density and low moisture content mean significantly reduced smoke emissions from your wood stove while at the same time saving forests and animal habitat.
Reduce your carbon footprint with a wood stove and fire briquettes.
