Product Information

The directions on a log should tell you whether it can be used indoors, outdoors, or both. Most wax-based logs can’t be used in closed wood stoves, because they need more oxygen to burn. Some logs that are expected to generate high heat include warnings about where they should not be used, such as chimineas and small fire pits. A Swedish Fire Log – also referred to as a Swedish Torch or Canadian Candle – is a highly efficient campfire for cooking. With a splitting axe or maul, split the log into quarters or sixths. It’s okay if your splits aren’t perfectly symmetrical. Position two additional logs perpendicular to the first two. You should end up with a primitive log cabin-type structure that is two logs tall. There are a couple of different methods of making a Swedish Fire Log depending on the tools you have available. Here are your options: Axe a whole log

In this rhetorical journey you can think of fire logs as jazzed up firewood for your log fire. The ‘jazziness; comes from the production process itself. You see fire logs are made using a high-pressure compression process. Basically we place a 100% natural mix of sawdust, wax and wood waste into moulds. Then the mixture is compressed to create a log. The compression process eliminates pretty much all the moisture – leaving a super low 6-8% internal moisture level. Each log has the same shape and density meaning a more consistent burn. This gives you greater control. And again, you don’t have to have a Nobel Prize to realize that super low moisture gives you a super clean, efficient and hotter burn too!Our Instant Light Firelogs are produced from recycled sawdust and wax, meaning they're environmentally friendly and suitable for use in smoke control areas.

To simplify: fire has always been there – a necessary companion moving in sync with our evolution on the planet. We worshipped it. We needed it. We yearned for it. We depended on it. The whole fire making ritual also has significance. We love the smells, sights and sounds. The familiar smoky aroma triggers emotive responses within our brains. The infinite movement of dancing flame is irreplaceably hypnotic Essentially a fire exudes comfort. As cities grow and we drift further away from our natural roots, our desire for fire remains. The good news is that it has never been easier to get logs for your fire. They come in all forms, from seasoned to kiln dried to compressed heat logs. The term ‘fire logs’ is applied to many of these types of log. However today we are focusing on one particular definition.

Many artificial fire logs are made of recycled or surplus wood shavings that are compressed and baked to draw out excess moisture. These dense logs typically burn more rapidly and more consistently, and they provide more warmth. Even wax-based logs tend to use recycled materials beyond wood, such as cardboard, coffee grounds, and agricultural products. While firelogs shouldn’t expire, you should take care of them so they'll burn as expected. Most manufacturers recommend storing logs in a dry area, away from dampness or heat. activityBookingConfirmationUrl":"/content/centerparcs/uk/en/jcr:content.activityBookingConfirmation.json", Even with dry wood, it can be difficult to make a traditional campfire when the ground is very wet or covered in snow. The Swedish Fire Log method keeps the fire up off the ground to start, preventing vaporized water moisture from putting it out. Self feeding and self ventilatingYes, but far less than real firewood. The higher the moisture content of your wood, the more smoke and creosote your fire produces. Fire logs have low moisture content. It is recommended to burn dry, seasoned wood to reduce the amount of creosote produced and decrease the likelihood of chimney fires. I have yet to use it as it is July, but the product looks just as expected. The staff were most helpful a d divety was prompt. Freshly cut logs are filled with moisture, which can make them very difficult to burn. Even when properly done, a Swedish Fire Log made using wet wood is going to be a nonstarter, so look for as dry of wood as possible.
