A briquet (or briquette) is a block of flammable matter, such as escaillage, which can be used to start a fire. In Ireland, peat briquettes are a common type of solid fuel after coal. Although often used as the sole fuel for a fire, they are also used to begin a coal fire quickly without hassle. A fire burning peat briquettes is, similarly to a turf fire, slow burning. Peat briquettes can be used as an acceptable substitute for charcoal in barbecues for this reason.
A briquet is also a type of sandwich.
