Product Information

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. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff are always on hand to help you find what you’re looking for, arrange installation or design something made-to-measure. As eco logs are compressed to very high pressures, they keep their shape and pack in more energy to burn when compared to a traditional log. In other words, you are legally required to ensure that the wood you burn in your home fireplace has been sufficiently dried. You may also find that the beautiful flames may not be as good as the ones produced with wooden logs.

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. The good news is that there is a range of eco logs, also known as heat logs, available now on the market. 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. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page. Heat logs are considered environmentally friendly as they are produced using leftover organic biomass, wood shavings and other waste materials.A heat log is a type of briquette made from 100% renewable wood residue, like chippings and sawdust, which is highly compressed to form a solid log. Our heat logs are perfect for multiple fireplaces and can serve various uses for your home fire setup.

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.All our timber comes from carefully selected, sustainable sources and many of our products are made in Somerset by our experienced tradesmen. The fact that they’re compressed also means that they hold their shape well during burning, which helps the structure of your fire. 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. This means they can generate up to three times the heat of conventional wooden logs, with no spitting, sparking or crumbling.

They can come in different shapes and sizes, but are often cylindrical or can be squared off like a briquette. Manufactured from raw materials, such as compressed sawdust and wood chips, they’re easy to light and offer a low ash residue - keeping your stove and chimney cleaner for longer. This is the same fossil-fuel derived substance that is used for candles, which is why natural eco friendly candles are a better choice. You can use them in indoor or outdoor fireplaces, and you can be sure that they will burn bright and true throughout the night. Previous fire logs may have been made with sawdust but it would have been bound together with paraffin wax.Our Shimada heat logs are made from compressed wood, meaning they have a higher calorific value than traditional firewood. Our Woodsure Ready to Burn certification ensures you receive the highest quality wood fuel with a consistently low moisture content. 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. 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.

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. 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.When you add them to your fire, they heat up more quickly and release more energy in the form of heat - hence the name.
