You tend to need more air to achieve a given heat level from traditional logs (because they contain more water) than wood briquettes, but anything will burn too fast if you allow too much air into the stove. While traditional fires require the proper build of kindling, paper, wood, and then coaxing fire to burst forth, fire logs are easy to light. While central heating can keep your home toasty, it’s impossible to replicate the feeling that a real fire brings, with its smoky smell, crackling sounds and flickering lights. Circulating stoves heat air internally before sending it out into the room, whereas radiating stoves simply generate and radiate heat as they go. It has the looks, too – a large viewing window really adds to the atmosphere, allowing you to view the flames and create a warm glow in the room.

Although they’re often cheap, it’s poor value compared to densely compacted but necessarily more expensive briquettes. Check the packaging before choosing to see if that particular log will aid in cleaning your chimney. Burn time relates not only to density and moisture content, but also the amount of oxygen you allow into your stove. When compared to traditional wood logs, briquettes: a) have a far higher energy density, b) burn for a longer time, and c) are more affordable per kilowatt of heat produced.

The Enviro-Log is made from compressed cardboard and food-grade waxes, and the wrapper claims the product to be suitable for cooking, so we toasted a few marshmallows over its warm flames.However, you may need 2 larger pieces of wood and 4-5 smaller pieces to make a load that will burn overnight.

Responsible manufacturers will always be able to provide the information we describe above, regardless of their certification. In our tests, we burned the Enviro-Logs in an outdoor chiminea during some strong breezes, which may have caused them to burn more quickly.
