Big K Compressed Saw Dust Heat Logs, Pack Of 12-14 100% Natural Heat Logs

Product Information

Commercially manufactured pressed sawdust logs, a.k.a. “Presto” logs or “fire logs,” can be a great source of fuel for your small stove. Manufactured logs tend to have relatively high BTU content, require no curing, and are safe to transport across long distances.

They also burn cleaner, producing less smoke and ash. This reduces the amount of creosote build-up in the chimney, which is a frequent cause of chimney fires. The fire log burned slowly but uniformly for about 3.5 hours, which was 30 minutes longer than advertised. It put out some heat to slightly warm the small room but not enough to keep a larger living space warm. Still, this scented fire log is long on ambience. The combination of aroma and steady flames creates a cozy feeling when it’s cold and blustery outside. The crushed and dried raw materials are extruded into hollow briquettes under high temperature and high pressure working conditions. The most commonly used briquette size is 50 mm in diameter and 40-50 cm in length. Carbonization As a result, artificial logs produce more heat per unit of fuel than natural logs and firewood. Additionally, the wax and binding materials used further contribute to increased heat output. These materials are designed to burn slowly, which allows them to produce a longer-lasting and higher heat output. 11) Low MaintenanceFor course sawdust I just add it to the paper pulp and turn the hose into the mix until it looks about right, it should be very a very sloppy slurry so the mixer can do its stuff. Perfect for pizza ovens...: If you’re the proud owner of a pizza oven then firewood is a great match. Kiln dried oak is used as the most common primary fuel in Italian pizzerias, due to the authentic leopard-spotted finish it creates. So, where there’s a pizza oven involved, when deciding between firewood vs briquettes, firewood is the best option in this case. Making the switch from gas to renewable energy has never been easier. Our high-quality log briquettes are made from sawdust and are sustainably produced right here in the UK. An agricultural by-product, these sawdust briquettes are 100% environmentally friendly, giving you a safe and guilt-free way to heat your home.

And other cooking: This type of wood fuel is also very well suited to cooking over fire pits and chimineas. Kiln dried birch burns with a sweet, natural aroma that’s great for infusing the flavour of food with a mild, smokey flavour. What I can do is estimate my Kw value from all the wood that i do shred and use on the fire before deciding to invest in a machine driven Cider press of similar make at a later date. Firelogs from Home Fire Prest Logs help homeowners heat more efficiently due to the efficient burning nature of the compressed firelogs. The higher temperature burn means the volatile gases which are released during burning combust in the firebox reducing their pollutant effect on the environment. Normally these gases condense on the flue of the chimney and form deposits we familiarly know as creosote. Reduced Creosote Buildup in Flue While some fire logs claim to burn for as long as 6 hours, the average fire log burns for 2 to 4 hours. The main difference in burn time is the size of the log and the density. Q. How do you use fire logs?

If the heating has been on and I have hot water to spare, I use warm water to soak the paper after only about 5mins you can use the paint mixer and it will be in pulp in a few minutes, if i have cold water about an 30 mins will have it softened up and will not take long to be in pulp. I only use the cider press a couple of days a year, I thought I would use it for more cheese making but hours in the day, and hygiene, make it impractical for my own use.
