Heat Logs

Prices inclusive of VAT at 5% (Fuel Tax Rates) for domestic fuel.

Heat logs provide a very clean and compact, high calorific output fuel source. The moisture content of our heat logs is extremely low, typically below 10%. Even the best quality kiln dried firewood logs have a moisture content of 10-15%. The manufacturing process applies the same high pressure to each briquette ensuring that a consistent high density is achieved with each heat log. Essentially, with a heat log having a lower moisture content, you are getting more wood material (the fuel) per kilogram and therefore more fuel for your money, and compressed into a smaller volume.

It’s worth remembering that with heat logs, the wood type does not necessarily make a huge difference to performance, unlike with traditional firewood logs. For example, the main difference between birch and oak with traditional firewood logs is the density of the native wood. When using these woods to manufacture heat logs, the wood material is in sawdust form and is subject to the same high pressure, therefore removing the density variable.

Each of these products work well when used alone but better results can be achieved trying different combinations, either with both types of heat logs, or mixed with traditional firewood. As with all solid fuel advice, it’s a case of experimenting and finding out what works best in your appliance. Remember that a good looking flame doesn’t always necessarily lead to the highest heat output, good red hot embers can produce the best heat but may not always offer the nice visual appeal of a dancing flame.
