HazelHex or Hex — which briquette is right for you?

HazelHex is the longest burn we make (6–8h), the highest peak (1100°C), and our most sustainable briquette. Choose HazelHex when sustainability, single-load burn length, and top-end heat all matter.

Hex is our Sumi Binchotan-style workhorse: dense, high-heat, restaurant-grade, at a lower price point. Choose Hex for Binchotan character and steady burn without the top-tier spend.

How chefs use HazelHex — the powerbase-plus-lumpwood cook

The Globaltic recommended setup for restaurant service and serious home cooks: use HazelHex as the powerbase — the long, stable heat foundation of the fire — and layer lumpwood on top (birch, oak, or Spanish Holm Oak) for the extra sear temperature and wood-flavour character. You get the longevity of a briquette and the flavour and top-end heat of lumpwood in one cook.
