The moisture content of eco logs is less than 10%. This benefits the efficiency of a fire and helps it burn for longer. 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. Our heat logs are perfect for multiple fireplaces and can serve various uses for your home fire setup. For instance, they’re ideal for use in wood burners, multi-fuel stoves, open fires, and even chimeneas. You can use them in indoor or outdoor fireplaces, and you can be sure that they will burn bright and true throughout the night. 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.

The good news is that there is a range of eco logs, also known as heat logs, available now on the market. Heat logs are considered environmentally friendly as they are produced using leftover organic biomass, wood shavings and other waste materials. 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. 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. Our Woodsure Ready to Burn certification ensures you receive the highest quality wood fuel with a consistently low moisture content.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? This is significantly less than dried out seasoned wood, which sits around 20% moisture. What are eco logs made from? Previous fire logs may have been made with sawdust but it would have been bound together with paraffin wax. This is the same fossil-fuel derived substance that is used for candles, which is why natural eco friendly candles are a better choice.

Eco logs shouldn’t contain any chemicals, additives and other nasties. This means that eco logs burn cleaner, producing less air pollutants, which is good news for the air in your house and the environment outside. If you own a multifuel burning stove, it goes without saying that you’ll want a good eco log to get your fire roaring. The high compression squeezes a lot of the moisture out of the biomass that goes into each heat log. This gives the eco logs a high density and also means they have a very low moisture content. They have a high heat output, don’t produce much smoke, have a low moisture content and burn very efficiently. 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.Eco logs are now produced all over the world. So, if you’re in the UK, try and source locally made eco logs. 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? 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 heat logs are 100% clean and come with no additives or chemicals. This is a super important consideration when you’re looking for the right firewood for your home.
