Product Information

To start our log firewood, we use a fire starter such as newspaper or wood wool (see our main guide on wood wool here), kindling (small bits of wood) and small logs, and add progressively larger logs as the fire bed of hot embers grows over time. If an environmentally friendly product is a must-have, you should probably pass on logs made with petroleum-based waxes. Do you need a log that’s safe to roast a marshmallow over? Generally, compressed logs are the best options, because they’re made of pure wood. You and those around you could inhale whatever you burn, so you may want to pass if you can’t determine what a product is made of. Firelogs are typically made up of sawdust and waxes. The majority of a firelog will be made of sawdust compressed into a log shape. The wax used in firelogs could be petroleum but is nowadays more likely to be more environmentally friendly products such as vegetable waxes. First, since the logs are made from sawdust and other materials, they don’t have the same risk of splinters as wood does. These materials are also often recycled, meaning that they’re not taking away from new wood growth.

Firelogs are manufactured products and don’t need to be ‘seasoned’ or ‘kiln-dried’ like traditional firewood.

Forget about newspapers and kindling. We were able to get a real wood fire going using just one small Lightning Nugget. Once lit—it took three matches to light the nugget—it burned brightly with a hot flame about 6 inches high for a little more than 10 minutes. The nuggets are made from a blended composition of all-natural, recycled, and nontoxic flammable materials, including pitchwood sawdust and paraffin wax.

Looking to maintain a strong fire? Pair our instant light firestarter logs with Kiln-dried hardwood logs or natural charcoals for a wonderful fire experience! Once the log is burning well, it will start to catch your pieces of kindling on fire. Feel free to add more of these as needed. The other main component within firelogs can be wax, with the wax typically consisting of natural products such as plant or vegetable wax.

Once you have all of your materials, it’s time to start building your fire. 3. Build Your Fire Structure Duraflame produces a wide range of fireplace products, including this 2.5-pound fire log, which is about half the size of some of the other products we tested. We burned this one in an old wood-burning stove that we use to heat a large shop. It was easy to light by following the instructions: folding out the seam on the paper wrapper and then lighting it along the seam using a single match. The entire log was on fire within 5 minutes, and it burned for just over an hour. If you’re looking for an easier to manage fire where you can just ‘light and leave’ it, then firelogs can offer a better user experience.

Make sure there is a balance of fuel (wood) and wind so that your fire burns brightly and consistently.You’ll need to toss on regular firewood for a larger fire that puts out serious heat. Now that I got that out of the way, how do you start a fire using a fire starter logs? Why Use Fire Starter Logs? The size of the log: A larger log will obviously burn for a longer period of time than a smaller one. Fire starters are made up of materials that include recycled wood fibers, paper, oil, and wax that do not expire; hence, most fire starters do not have a shelf life. Why Trust Bob Vila
