Product Information

The benefit to these options is that you get to try a few kinds of briquette and find out which one is going to be best for you. The best use for them is in a large stove where when loaded in sufficient quantity to maintain a bed of ambers the briquettes will burn slowly releasing durable heat. There are a number of different types of briquette to choose from and to find the right one for you, it’s useful to think about what you want from your fuel. Careful storage of wood briquettes is essential as exposure to any moisture will cause them to expand and will ruin their burning efficiency.

This helps to contain the fire if it should spit flames at you – this protects your family, and decreases the risk of the fire spreading to your rug.It’s common knowledge that sawdust and petroleum wax fire logs of the 1960s didn’t have a clean burn. Smouldering fuel to try to extend burn time is bad for your stove, flue and the environment due to unburned particulate matter in the smoke.

When used properly, wood is a 100% renewable, carbon-neutral source of energy which is cheaper and more eco-friendly than gas or other alternatives. Can Be Used Anywhere: Being 100% chemical free and having a moderately-high heat output, Lekto's Fire Logs can be safely used in any appliance you would use regular firewood logs in. Heat logs are much easier to light than firewood – they burn more slowly and your fire will need less attention. There is a very easy way of fixing this… Roll up some newspaper and light it, holding it up the damper for a while. You may have to use your fire poker to get the logs into a position which exposes them to enough fire to catch alight.

By taking the best quality hardwood and kiln drying it we produce logs that give off a pleasing aroma when burning. Assuming you keep your fire going from morning till late evening, you’ll need approximately 4 heat logs for a day’s worth of warmth. One heat log can last up to 4 hours, offering a warm and cosy experience with less tending to than traditional firewood.

Thanks to their exceptionally high energy density and convenient no-roll shape, Fire Logs are the perfect middle ground between the massive heat output of Hardwood Heat Logs and the long burn time of Night Briquettes. Wood briquettes are manufactured logs made up of compressed wood byproducts and make a great alternative to traditional firewood logs. This system has its problems: Point heat, too many log ends hanging out around the fire, and too much tending, moving logs. In the same way as you would with a log fire, you would use smaller pieces of briquette as kindling to encourage the flame, adding larger pieces once the fire begins to establish. What you need to do instead is create your base with kindling, newspaper and firelighters to get the wood burner up to a high temperature and then put your wood burning logs in.

It is likely to be harder to light, so only add oak logs onto an already roaring fire, to keep it burning all evening.
