SITTA briquettes are a practical, environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for professional cooking, with hygiene and quality guaranteed by strict and constant chemical and bacteriological analyses. Their high calorific value allows the ideal temperature to be reached quickly and maintained for a long time.
Its humidity of less than 8% allows it to reach the perfect temperature in less time, and its ECOLOGICAL nature allows us to reduce carbon monoxide emissions into the atmosphere and chimney soot. The octagonal solution ensures manoeuvrability and stability, avoiding rolling in the slab; for the same weight and size, it far exceeds in yield the best traditional wood, making it very economical. Its high radiant power is ideal for cooking in refractory ovens because it allows cooking not only by conduction and induction, but also by radiation. It yields much more than traditional wood because it is pure virgin beech wood, thus allowing a constant temperature. Tested and certified by chemical and bacteriological analysis for cooking food. Storage then becomes simplified as each package/box weighing 18 kg contains 8 briquettes, allowing easy storage, tidiness and cleaning under the oven.
The ‘ultra-compact briquette’ the faggetto is a type of solid fuel, usually used for heating and cooking, that has a compact and regular shape. This type of briquette is produced using specific machinery that compresses the material (such as wood sawdust) until a product with a high calorific value and a uniform, easily stackable shape is obtained. The ultra-compactness of the il Faggetto briquette guarantees excellent energy efficiency, facilitates storage and transport of the material, reduces wasted space and ensures uniform combustion. In addition, the ultra-compact briquette process reduces waste and the use of waste materials, promoting a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to waste management.
the stabilisation of moisture content below 8% is a key feature of faggetto, which makes it different from traditional wood, which usually has a much higher moisture content of around 23%. Thanks to this special feature, the faggetto guarantees optimal and constant cooking without the risk of temperature fluctuations or excessive smoke development. In addition, the high calorific value of faggetto allows the ideal temperature to be reached quickly and maintained at a constant temperature for the entire cooking time, resulting in perfectly cooked and crispy pizzas and other foods.
Hygiene is essential to ensure maximum safety when preparing pizzas. Thanks to our drying process, il Faggetto briquettes are free of bark and all debris that can compromise the cleanliness of the work environment and the safety of the pizza maker’s hands. This means you can prepare your pizzas in a hygienic and clean environment, without having to worry about dirt, moss or other debris that might be present in traditional wood. In addition, bacteriological analyses conducted on our briquettes guarantee maximum safety when cooking food. Choosing il Faggetto briquettes means making a responsible and ecological choice, without having to renounce quality and hygiene in the preparation of your pizzas.
Our faggetto briquette is not only a great choice for the kitchen, it is also an environmentally friendly choice that helps reduce waste and protect the environment. In fact, our faggetto is produced using beech wood processing waste, which would otherwise be destined to become waste. These scraps are sorted into various grain sizes to make them compact and processed into ultra-compact briquettes with a controlled moisture content of less than 8%. Our closed-loop production process allows us to recover this valuable waste to create a product that not only cooks great pizzas, but also helps protect our environment. With our faggetto briquette, you can enjoy your favourite pizzas knowing you are making the right choice for your kitchen and our planet.
Our beech briquette, the faggetto, is the ideal solution for those who want to save on energy consumption without sacrificing cooking quality. Thanks to its high calorific value and density, faggetto allows the ideal temperature to be reached in a short time and maintained at a constant temperature for the entire cooking time, consuming only 2-4 kg per hour. With traditional wood, on the other hand, an average of 8-10 kg per hour is consumed, with a considerable impact on the environment and your wallet. Choosing the faggetto therefore means making a concrete gesture for the environment while saving on energy costs.
Thanks to this special feature, the faggetto guarantees optimal and constant cooking without the risk of temperature fluctuations or excessive smoke development. In addition, the high calorific value of the faggetto allows the ideal temperature to be reached quickly and maintained at a constant temperature for the entire cooking time, resulting in perfectly cooked and crispy pizzas and other foods.
Our faggetto is designed to make your life easier in every respect, including storage. Thanks to the 18 kg packs, storage becomes extremely easy and efficient. In fact, each pack contains 8 briquettes of faggetto, which are perfectly compact and stackable, taking up less space than traditional wood. This way, you can avoid having wood lying around in your oven or pizzeria, keeping everything neat and tidy. In addition, thanks to its high calorific value and greater efficiency, the faggetto allows you to always have the right amount of fuel for your cooking at hand, without having to waste time and effort in preparing wood.
