They do expand slightly, so place them carefully in the fire so they don’t expand onto the glass window or hearth.

Similar to logs, some briquettes can also be broken up to provide a kindling option when lighting a fire. They are produced by compressing these materials under high pressure, all without using any additives or binders. Manufactured in a smaller 200mm length (most other briquettes are 300mm) and ideal for small-medium stoves as a main fuel. Break - We strongly recommend you break these briquettes in half (or less for very small stoves) because they do expand whilst burning and you don't want them to overfill the fire.If you want your fire to last then we’d recommend using ash wood burning logs because they can burn for up to 5 or 6 hours and also don’t produce much smoke. The process of kiln drying logs reduces the moisture content down from the 60% to 80% mark to below 20%. BushBlok do not expand, so they are great for an open fire, producing a beautiful flame and then glowing red hot like a bar of steel. Versatile Uses: You can use briquettes for wood burning stoves, log burners, sheltered fire pits, chiminea, etc.

Sustainable forests are managed to simulate natural patterns of disturbance and regeneration, so carefully selected trees are removed for firewood to create temporary gaps in the canopy that benefit the forest wildlife.In other situations, you should create a pit large enough for the fire and for moving around in the area, as well as perhaps a sleeping area directly in front of the fire. It’s common knowledge that sawdust and petroleum wax fire logs of the 1960s didn’t have a clean burn. 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.

Made from pure, untreated wood sawdust, WillowWarm Briquettes are held together by compression alone. By opting for our logs, you are making a significant contribution to environmental conservation and supporting a more sustainable way of living. It is certainly not something for regular use but it is valuable to have in your arsenal of cold weather techniques in case you should ever need it and I hope this article helps explain how such a fire can be established. Another type of briquette might give you a long lasting fire which may even stay aglow overnight making it a practical choice in a space where the fire is the main heat source.

I do like that your articles vary from minimalist (what to do if you have nothing) to provisioned camping with the tent and wood stove.
