This article was written by Laurie Mansfield Reiter, a journalist with years of experience in researching, testing, and recommending home and garden products. Reiter researched products from online retailers, grocery stores, farm equipment stores, and big-box stores. Artificial fire logs are cleaner. Literally. Real wood is dirty and can contain pests, which is why some states don’t allow it to be transported across state lines. Real wood also contains moisture. A wet log is more difficult to ignite and can be inconsistent when burned. Many artificial fire logs are made of recycled or surplus wood shavings that are compressed and baked to draw out excess moisture. These dense logs typically burn more rapidly and more consistently, and they provide more warmth. Even wax-based logs tend to use recycled materials beyond wood, such as cardboard, coffee grounds, and agricultural products.Do not cut all the way through. Leave a few inches at the bottom, so the log remains a single unit so it is easier to transport and will maintain its structure while burning. In this rhetorical journey you can think of fire logs as jazzed up firewood for your log fire. The ‘jazziness; comes from the production process itself. You see fire logs are made using a high-pressure compression process. Basically we place a 100% natural mix of sawdust, wax and wood waste into moulds. Then the mixture is compressed to create a log. The compression process eliminates pretty much all the moisture – leaving a super low 6-8% internal moisture level. Each log has the same shape and density meaning a more consistent burn. This gives you greater control. And again, you don’t have to have a Nobel Prize to realize that super low moisture gives you a super clean, efficient and hotter burn too! Firstly, inspect your chimney and get it cleaned. A clean chimney will avoid accidents such as chimney fires. Make sure you open the fireplace damper fully before incineration, as this will avoid any smoke escaping to your living spaces. A splitter axe is designed for turning big logs into little logs. Perfect for splitting a single whole log into more manageable pieces. If an environmentally friendly product is a must-have, you should probably pass on logs made with petroleum-based waxes. Do you need a log that’s safe to roast a marshmallow over? Generally, compressed logs are the best options, because they’re made of pure wood. You and those around you could inhale whatever you burn, so you may want to pass if you can’t determine what a product is made of.

Fire Log - Fresh Off The Grid How to Make a Swedish Fire Log - Fresh Off The Grid

Freshly cut logs are filled with moisture, which can make them very difficult to burn. Even when properly done, a Swedish Fire Log made using wet wood is going to be a nonstarter, so look for as dry of wood as possible. Flamefast Firelogs are the perfect option for a cosy and warm evening in front of the fireplace. Flamefast Firelogs are specially designed to provide up to two hours of burning comfort. They are Defra approved for smoke control areas so ideal for you if you live in one of these areas and are looking for a smokeless fuel for your home fire. activityBookingConfirmationUrl":"/content/centerparcs/uk/en/jcr:content.activityBookingConfirmation.json", The Flamefast Instant Lighting Firelogs features a unique blend of eco-friendly and recycled sawdust wood fibers. These fibers provide an intensely hot flame that will set cosy fire with ease. They are held together with a cleaner burning wax for a cleaner experience. A Swedish Fire Log – also referred to as a Swedish Torch or Canadian Candle – is a highly efficient campfire for cooking.Compressed logs are typically dried in kilns, like the TimberTote Firwood Log, to remove excess moisture. Although they burn faster and hotter than real wood, you still need something to ignite them. So, a product that doesn’t include a firestarter or paper accelerant requires more prep work, as you have to build a fire and successfully light it so the log will ignite.
