Product Information

When you burn wood that is treated with chemicals or has certain additives - often referred to as pressure-treated wood - you expose yourself to a range of potential health and environmental issues. It’s always better to opt for firewood that is 100% natural and free from any chemicals, as you can burn it in your home fire without worrying about the health implications of doing so. The only downside to eco logs for me is that they will be shrink-wrapped in plastic. This is to keep the logs are dry as possible and prevent any moisture from entering. If left in the elements, eco logs will readily absorb any moisture, which isn’t good for burning. You may also find that the beautiful flames may not be as good as the ones produced with wooden logs. Kiln Dried Logs are a premium fuel and provide an unbeatable, authentic log fire with heat and aroma that is unique to this type of fuel.

If the heat log is claiming to be eco friendly, they should not contain any artificial chemicals, additives or fossil-fuel based materials. Heat logs may also contain peat, but if you are considering the environment, please don’t buy peat-containing logs. Heat logs are made by mechanically compressing wood, sawdust and other organic offcut materials into a very dense log. The heat logs are usually pressed into shape. This is significantly less than dried out seasoned wood, which sits around 20% moisture. What are eco logs made from?The good news is that there is a range of eco logs, also known as heat logs, available now on the market.

However, if you still like to burn traditional wood logs, this isn’t a problem as you’ll be able to burn both wood and eco logs on a multifuel stove. However, don’t do this at the same time.They’re also really popular because they’re really easy to light, and you don’t need to struggle for an eternity trying to get your fire started. When you build a fire with our heat logs and use one of our fire starters , you will have no issues igniting the perfect home fire this autumn or winter. Many are made using recycled materials, waste products and offcuts. This is great from a sustainability point of view. Our heat logs are ultra-dry and are extremely easy to light. They have been dried to a moisture content of between 10% and 15%, ensuring they burn extremely well and emit less than 10g of smoke per hour. Again, the moisture content of your chosen firewood is extremely important to think about.

Hotties – Grown and manufactured in the UK, Hotties are made up of the sawdust, wood chips and renewable materials which are compressed into heat logs, with no additives or binding agents. Eco logs are an alternative to wood logs for your stove or log burner. Eco logs are highly compressed, manufactured logs made from recycled natural materials. They can come in different shapes and sizes, but are often cylindrical or can be squared off like a briquette. Heat logs are considered environmentally friendly as they are produced using leftover organic biomass, wood shavings and other waste materials. Although some people will do this, burning any other fuel other than a 100% wooden log, may void your guarantee and could damage the stove. This is because the inside of wood burning stoves are designed differently to multifuel stoves.Eco logs are now produced all over the world. So, if you’re in the UK, try and source locally made eco logs. The fact that they’re compressed also means that they hold their shape well during burning, which helps the structure of your fire. This is why we refer to our heat logs as a high energy fuel source and is another reason why they’re one of our most popular products for home fireplaces. Our Woodsure Ready to Burn certification ensures you receive the highest quality wood fuel with a consistently low moisture content.

A longer burn time means you won’t have to buy as many logs and will save you money in the long run through being more efficient. You can increase the efficiency of the heat your stove produces by using stove top fan. A stove fan helps to distribute the heat evenly around the room for maximum overall warmth! Do heat logs smoke? The moisture content of eco logs is less than 10%. This benefits the efficiency of a fire and helps it burn for longer. A good heat log should maintain its shape and not crumble into sawdust and other bits of material either in the bag or when in the stove. How are heat logs made? And finally, if possible make sure the initial wood source is from a sustainable plantation and certified by Forest Stewardship Council. Can you burn eco logs in a wood stove?

If the heat log contains no artificial chemicals and is 100% organic material, then you can use the leftover ash as fertiliser for your garden. Even better, a UK heat log of good quality will have been accredited with the Woodsure Plus mark. This is the UK’s only woodfuel certification scheme. When it comes to wood fuel, Kiln Dried Logs are the finest that money can buy. Extremely dry, with a Ready-to-burn-certified moisture content of less than 20%, Kiln kiln-dried logs burn hotter and longer than any other type of log fuel. Most heat logs produce very little smoke. This is good for the health and condition of the stove and flue, as well as the environment. They have a high heat output, don’t produce much smoke, have a low moisture content and burn very efficiently.
