With the influx of recycled materials from our supply partners, we were faced with a problem of excess waste. We had to come up with a solution for what to do with the timber that was damaged or unsuitable for use.
The answer: woodettes!

THE WOODETTE STORY
At designwood, our focus is on utilising 100 percent of the timber resourse that we procure.
Australian hardwoods are renowned for their hardness and high heat output when burnt but with the growing shortage of seasoned wood available finding quality firewood is not always easy.
Our woodettes are made from 100% recycled and seasoned timber, predominatly ironbark, blackbutt and spotted gum (most of our timber has been drying for well over 30 or 40 years ) giving the woodettes a consistent high heat, low smoke and ash output.
Designwood firewood woodettes are proudly australian made. They are a sustainable, environmentally friendly, easy to stack and store alternative to traditional firewood. They are perfect for firepits, woodheaters and camping.
When you use woodettes you’re burning clean hardwood timber that would othewise be destined for landfill . As an added bonus we are now partnered with ecologi, a company dedicated to facilitating the funding of carbon offset and tree planting projects around the world. For every box of woddettes sold we plant one tree
