Choosing the most effective way to heat your home might depend on your circumstances, but Homefire has options for every homeowner. We want to help you decide between Heat Logs and Firewood Logs to determine which is best for your home and what you can expect when burning either.
What are Heat Logs?
Heat Logs are an ultra-dry alternative to traditional firewood. These products are made from recycled, compressed wood and come in different forms, namely the Shimada Heat Logs, Eco Fire Logs, and the Instant Light Fire Logs for any occasion.
Eco Fire Logs and Shimada Heat Logs are Ready To Burn certified and contain no chemicals or additives. Instant Light Fire Logs require no kindling or firelighters and can ignite from within the bag.
The Advantages of Heat Logs
These Heat Logs are versatile, with Instant Light Fire Logs and Shimada Heat Logs suitable for use on a wood burner, open fires, multi-fuel stoves, and chimineas. The amount of smoke produced is far reduced compared to kiln-dried wood, sparing your home from potential emissions.
Generally, Homefire Heat Logs burn hotter and longer than traditional firewood, making them a more efficient choice requiring you to top up your solid fuel supply less.
Firewood Log Information
Kiln-dried logs are naturally cut and have had most of their moisture removed to below 20%, making them safe to burn. Kiln-dried wood can be used in any fire setting, leaves low tar and ash residue, and is Ready To Burn certified.
You can purchase Homefire's kiln-dried firewood in many sizes, from small grab bags to large crates. These logs are made from Birch trees sourced from responsibly managed forests.
The Advantages of Firewood Logs
Purchasing kiln-dried firewood from Homefire benefits your home by getting all the beautiful aromas you'd want from natural firewood. Heat Logs might not satisfy your desire for authenticity, giving kiln-dried logs an advantage. The sight of dancing flames atop your natural logs is gorgeous any time of year, particularly in the dark, cold nights.
Kiln-dried wood burns for a considerable amount of time and slumbers well overnight to maintain a pleasant temperature in your home. These hardwood logs meet strict quality control guidelines, so you know you'll get the best quality.
The Verdict: Heat Logs or Firewood Logs
Overall, the choice between kiln-dried firewood logs and Heat Logs depends on your preference; do you want the natural authenticity and scents of traditional wooden logs, or are you looking for increased duration and temperatures from Heat Logs? There's reason to believe Heat Logs win the argument regarding longevity and overall performance, but this doesn't make them everybody’s favourite.
Assess your budget, home storage conditions for wood, and whether your appliance will facilitate your choice, such as if you have a wood-burning stove. Whichever you decide on, buy from Homefire today for the best quality.
