While there are countless ways to make a campfire, the Swedish Fire Log offers some distinct advantages, especially for cooking. Efficient use of wood First developed by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years War, this type of campfire requires just a single log and can be made even when the ground is wet or covered in snow. As cities grow and we drift further away from our natural roots, our desire for fire remains. The good news is that it has never been easier to get logs for your fire. They come in all forms, from seasoned to kiln dried to compressed heat logs. The term ‘fire logs’ is applied to many of these types of log. However today we are focusing on one particular definition.

For us these logs are absolutely essential for our camping, they create fantastic atmosphere inside our dragon burners. Insert kindling in the center of the log. Don’t overstuff or put kindling towards the outside of the log, as this will restrict airflow. A nice small bunch in the middle is all you need.We are buying these logs for years for our camping and they are fantastic. We always cut them with an axe into 3 pieces and place them in our outdoor dragon burner. We don’t light the logs directly, but we use 2 natural eco wood firelighters inside the centre of the dragon burner and light the logs (split into 3) this way. Because you literarily can’t extinguish the eco firelighters once lit, they heat up the cut up logs and within 1 minute or so they start to burn. Standing at a proud 137cm tall, and 62cm wide, you can fill it with plenty of logs to start a raging fire – comfortably keeping all of your guests nice and warm, which is great for extending your garden party. Natural wood from trees contains immense amounts of moisture. And you don’t need to be Heisenberg to determine that this doesn’t bode well for fire making. Dry wood equals better burn. So we need to get rid of as much internal moisture as possible to make the most efficient wood fuel. There are many ways to remove this moisture. We will explain one particular manufacturing process. Let’s do this peeps!

Ideal for starting open fires and multi-fuel stoves, this Fire Log will burn for an impressive two hours. It's a more environmentally friendly alternative than non-wood fuels and is also extremely easy to light. If you’re working with wood, it’s only a matter of time before you get a splinter. But you can avoid what seems like the inevitable by wearing a proper pair of work gloves. Yes, but far less than real firewood. The higher the moisture content of your wood, the more smoke and creosote your fire produces. Fire logs have low moisture content. It is recommended to burn dry, seasoned wood to reduce the amount of creosote produced and decrease the likelihood of chimney fires. Arriving at the campground late? Forgot to make a fire until you’re already hungry? If you don’t want to wait for your campfire to burn down to embers, a Swedish Fire Log will allow you to start cooking right away.
