Hardwood Wood ‘Fuel’ Pellets
£11 – £150.50 (incl. VAT)
With a consistent moisture content, our 6mm premium hardwood pellets are made from freshly sawn, kiln-dried hardwood. A mix of mainly Oak, Ash & Poplar – perfect for all wood-loving mushroom varieties. No binding agents, bark or fillers.
Kiln-dried, untreated virgin hardwood ‘fuel’ pellets – Popular in the USA, but almost impossible to source in the UK. Until now!
Hydrates quickly into wet sawdust and pelletised for ease of use. Compact storage with no dust! The pelleting process heats the pellets to over 80°C which kills a large proportion of any contaminants so is suitable for cold water lime pasteurisation but will need to be steralised if adding supplements.
By using hardwood pellets over sawdust you can be sure of the following:
- Consistent water content of below 6%
- Measure more accurately
- Lower contamination count
- Zero glues or chemical wood treatments
- Consistent wood varieties
- Longer storage period
- Less storage area required
- Easier to handle
- Individually packed
- Easier flow using automated bagging systems
- Faster hydration over wood ‘Briquettes’
Mixed with our RUF Oak briquettes, you can create the perfect substrate consistency which we use in our own commercial mushroom operation.

William Clare –
I can't seem to find hardwood fuel pellets anywhere else in the UK! So far my shiitake blocks are loving them so can confirm they are definitely hardwood and not the common softwood which you can buy elsewhere. Thanks for the freebies too! 😉

good value, soak up water like a sponge, have only been experimenting with steralised hardwood sawdust blocks so can't comment on performance just yet.
