First developed by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years War, this type of campfire requires just a single log and can be made even when the ground is wet or covered in snow. Although the log’s ingredients are proprietary, Dimmitt says they are similar to the chemicals that professional chimney sweeps use to remove creosote. Depending on the size of your log, this surface can easily accommodate a water kettle, dutch oven, or cast-iron skillet.

These logs can also be considered to be carbon neutral fire logs – as during combustion the carbon released is equal to the carbon absorbed to produce the materials of the log itself. Fuels that are not commercially available have been authorised previously and continued to be authorised if manufactured before dates specified in the relevant Statutory instruments.

If you break them apart, there’s more combustion material exposed to the air, and the log is going to burn a lot faster,” he says. 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!
