Characteristics:

Characteristics of Straw Briquettes:

• 100% Carbon Neutral
• 100% Natural Biomass

• Ash: 3-6%
• No Sparks

Burn Time: Excellent (1pk / night)

By choosing to burn STROGS:

1. We can cut dependency on energy imports.
2. Reduce our “carbon-footprint” (which we are obliged to do by Kyoto or face massive carbon taxes).
3. Help support local jobs (which improves local economy).
4. It is competitively priced, which is “easier on the pocket”.
