Homefire High Energy Ultra Dry Heat Logs Open Fire Log Eco Wood Fuel (24 Heat Logs)

Product Information

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.

They can come in different shapes and sizes, but are often cylindrical or can be squared off like a briquette. In 2021, the UK government announced a ban on the sale of wet wood in units under 2m3. In other words, you are legally required to ensure that the wood you burn in your home fireplace has been sufficiently dried. In addition to our ultra-dry heat logs, our kiln-dried firewood has been dried to a moisture content of 20% or less and is another great option for your home fire.

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. The moisture content of eco logs is less than 10%. This benefits the efficiency of a fire and helps it burn for longer. 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. 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 considered environmentally friendly as they are produced using leftover organic biomass, wood shavings and other waste materials.

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?
