wondered if anyone uses those eco log things on a home fire , what do you use and how do you rate them ?
they sound expensive to me

They are not that good.We’ve used the logs sold at Centerparcs, they’re rubbish….
Interesting way to earn a living obviously enjoys canal life.My mate run a coal boat on the canal. He got a batch of the eco logs for his customers to try after several people requested them. Safe to say they all reverted straight back to coal and he no longer bothers selling them.
We have stayed in the cabins at CP, my son thinks they’re good albeit overpriced.They are not that good.
As they are "Green."
I’ll bet it costs as much if not more energy to produce those eco logs than the energy released in the same mass of coal….,( this statement may not be true but it is written merely to make a point…,)My mate run a coal boat on the canal.

I think most of the time its just a byproduct of another process, a few big joinery places I used to go to had all the dust/chip extraction hooked up to a big fancy machine continually spitting out these briquette thingsI had an ash come down in the recwnt wind. And another dead one that needs to come down - thats next winter sorted. I dont understand all these manufactured products - just seems to add another layer and expense to heating your home.

I suspect you are right. But they seem to take over and become the accepted norm which I always think is weird.I think most of the time its just a byproduct of another process, a few big joinery places I used to go to had all the dust/chip extraction hooked up to a big fancy machine continually spitting out these briquette things
An interesting fact, shavings for horse bedding are specifically created by shredding wood, they're not a by-product of sawmills.whilst its another layer of waste its better than having to remove the waste product and putting another use to it
whilst sawdust and trimings can be used for bedding for many an animal your still left with loads of waste product
wood pellets are imported whilst the briquetes can be quickly formed

Hardly a ‘green‘ process is it?An interesting fact, shavings for horse bedding are specifically created by shredding wood, they're not a by-product of sawmills.
....to make toilet paper in various forms (roll for us, and for horses...in a bale of shavings)....Hardly a ‘green‘ process is it?
I mean, the trees grow, absorbing CO2 , then they’re cut down transported by carbon emitting transport, then ultimately processed at a mill, powered by some carbon emitting gener power plant….methinks the so called ‘net zero’ process is ******* ********….who are the kidders trying to kid?
Sorry we seem to be going off on a tangent …..
the older type did but the newer type do alot moreAn interesting fact, shavings for horse bedding are specifically created by shredding wood, they're not a by-product of sawmills.
