Good morning,

If you have a wood burning fire place, a wood burning stove
or a fire grate in the back yard, chances are you have rows
of dead wood stacked up on the side of the house or behind
the garage.

Maybe that wood is a by-product of necessary clearing or maybe
it was harvested specifically to be sold as firewood, but the
next time you are about to buy natural firewood for your fire-
place consider an alternative.

Please scroll down to read more about compressed, recycled
firelogs.

Thanks for reading,

Some compressed firelogs are made with wax, accelerants to
facilitate combustion and other chemical additives. There
are brands available that are 100 percent completely natural,
these are the ones you want to purchase.

Firelogs are made from wood residue from the primary and
secondary wood processing industries. Sawdust and wood chips
that would otherwise end up in landfills is transformed into
densified logs, therefore reducing environmental problems
due to disposal.

Every ton (about one pallet) of compressed, densified logs is
equivalent to 12 mature trees that don't need to be cut down!

Firelogs burn hotter, longer and cleaner than dried firewood
and produce less smoke and eventually less ash. Plus, since
they are kiln dried they can be stored inside your home. No
mold or bugs!
