Calorific Value of Homefire Fuels
The calorific value (CV) is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions (Wikipedia, 2023).
We would argue that CV is not a completely reliable measure of the heat you feel, as there are other factors at play such as the size of the fuel (see article: "Why the size of solid fuel matters"), but we know many customers like to compare.
The table below gives the Gross Calorific Value (Dry Basis) in Kilojoules per kilogram:
| Product Name | Gross CV (kj / kg) | Briquette Size (S / M / L) |
| Brazier | 31,500 | Medium |
| Ecoal | 32,000 | Large |
| Homefire | 32,000 | Large |
| Homefire Ovals | 32,000 | Large |
| Phurnacite | 33,000 | Small |
| Stoveheat Premium | 31,000 | Small |
| Taybrite / Surefire | 30,000 | Medium |
| Wildfire | 33,000 | Large |
