Hotties heatlogs

hotties eco-logsHotties heatlogs are the brilliant new eco friendly way to make a hot and easy fire. They are made from highly compressed wood formed into a square log (70mm square by 200mm length): they are the log with the handy hole down the middle and make excellent wood for burning on fires, stoves, firepits and chimineas.

Hotties are price competitive with wood and coal and are made using 100% compressed, recycled wood. Easy to handle and quick to light, Hotties firewood burns with a steady flame and give off constant heat.

You can mix Hotties with wood or coal or use them by themselves. The manufacturing process means they retain their shape during burning and do not expand, therefore they last significantly longer during burning than inferior types of compressed wood fuel. They are also safer to burn with no expansion or cracking.

The reason Hotties are the ideal fuel for fires is that they typically contain less than 5% moisture. The wood used to make Hotties is 100% clean wood, chipped and then dried in a rotating air drier first, before being compressed to just 10% its original mass.

With Hotties, you are getting excellent value for money and the wood you are buying is optimised for burning well.

Priced at £4.00 per pack


Info and how to use Eco Briquettes

Briquettes must be kept dry and out of sunlight as this can cause condensation in the bag and impair the quality of the briquettes, damp briquettes will be difficult to light and may cause smoking. A dry shed/garage is ideal for storage. South West Forestry’s briquettes can be used on their own or together with coal or wood etc. And you can light these briquettes in the same way as you would traditional firewood, with help from some paper, kindling and or firelighters. (please see our menu on the left and click on FAQ for further advice).

Never over-fill your fire basket or wood burner and never close off the air supply as the briquettes need air to burn.

If you are using a wood burner never add more briquettes than you would with normal logs, as overheating may occur and you may damage your stove.

As these briquettes burn hotter than normal logs, it is advisable to add small amounts regularly.
