Forno1889® Beechwood Pizza Briquettes

In stock

Built for Pizza Ovens
Reliable Heat
All Flame, No Fuss

There’s no shortcut to a good pizza. Just like there’s no shortcut to a good fire.

Forno1889® briquettes are pressed from 100% FSC®-certified beechwood with no bark, no binders, no tricks. Just clean, consistent heat that holds steady from first prep to final ticket.

The name comes from Naples, 1889, when pizzaiolo Rafaele Esposito served a simple, perfect pizza to Queen Margherita. Tomato. Mozzarella. Basil. Fire, flour, and tradition. We honour that moment with a briquette made for the ovens that keep that legacy alive.

Each briquette is identical in octagonal shape, weight, and burn, so you spend less time managing the fire and more time doing what matters: serving perfect pizza, one after another.

Built for wood-fired kitchens that run hard, fast, and without compromise.

Product Details

Forno1889® briquettes are made from pure, 100% FSC-certified beechwood sawdust, pressed tightly, dried to perfection, and cut for consistent combustion.

Each briquette is octagonal in shape, low in ash, and delivers a long, clean burn that holds your oven at service temperature with minimal fuss.

No bark. No resin. No chemicals. Just compact, ready-to-fire blocks that do what firewood wishes it could, without the mess, moisture, or unpredictability.

Who It's For

These briquettes aren’t made for fireplaces or Sunday garden grills.

They’re made for commercial wood-fired ovens, Neapolitan pizzerias, mobile pizza trailers, festival operators, and open-flame kitchens that run hot, fast, and for hours on end.

If you fire up a Gozney Dome, Valoriani, Acunto, or Marra Forni, if you're spinning pizzas in a 450°C oven with a queue out the door then this is for you.

Whether you're running a brick-and-mortar restaurant, a street food unit, or a multi-site group, Forno1889® gives you clean, consistent fuel with zero compromise.
