Eco-Logs offer many benefits over natural firewood because they are a manufactured product, i.e. they are subject to stringent quality controls during production.
Eco-Logs are a new product that can be safely used as a concentrated fuel source in all wood burning heaters and combustion stoves. As there are no chemicals, additives or binders used to hold the logs together, they can also be used as BBQ or Chimnea fuel.
Eco-Logs contain only 6% moisture, whereas "dry" firewood (sold in bulk or bags) may contain as much as 25% to 30% moisture. Because of the lower moisture levels, Eco-Logs radiate more heat on a weight for weight basis than natural firewood. The reason, energy is spent evaporating off the higher levels of entrained water in natural firewood, thereby lowering the overall heat value.
With Eco-Logs, greater than 90% of the mass of the briquette is available as useful heat.
Eco-Logs are also denser than most naturally occurring firewood. The manufacturing process ensures that the raw material is highly and uniformly compacted. This means that you burn fewer Eco-Logs than natural firewood to achieve the same heat output.
In short, there can be as much as 2~3 times more heat energy contained in an Eco-Log than an ordinary piece of firewood of equivalent mass.
Eco-Logs, due to their convenient packaging are easier to store and occupy less than 1/4 of the space that an equivalent load of traditional firewood would require. (An important issue where there is limited storage space available.)
The briquettes are 80mm dia. With each Eco-Log you can expect a clean, hot, burn (depending on heater controls and settings) with very little ash residue and lower particulate emissions.
From an environmental perspective, Eco-Logs utilise waste material that would otherwise be going to landfill or burned in an uncontrolled manner. Their purchase also prevents the unnecessary felling of plantation timber for use as firewood and preserves habitat. Note: As Eco-Logs are manufactured from clean, contaminant free, 100% recycled timber, they will last in storage for long periods of time. However, as with all timber, they must be stored in a dry place.
