Firelogs Produce More Heat

Our Firelogs Last Up to 12 Hours without Separating

Only firelogs from Home Fire Prest Logs produce heat for up to 12 hours.

That is because of our patented technology compresses wood waste so densely that the logs will burn red hot throughout producing the most efficient burn available in manufactured firelogs today. The logs stay together without falling apart and have and extremely low moisture content of 2%.

The lack of moisture and the highly compressed wood fibers give such an even BTU output, some of our customers claim they need only 3 logs to heat their home all day! While this claim may seem exaggerated to some people, remember that conditions will vary with the efficiency of the wood stove and the area to be heated. Even our high users only use 12 log each day to heat their entire home.

Our Firelogs are safe for Catalytic Convertors

Home Fire Prest Logs are pure wood firelogs without any added substances. They are produced from clean wood which is recycled from the many lumber mills in the British Columbia region. The binding agent in the firelogs is the natural lignin in the wood, which fuse and melt together under the high heat and pressure during log production. (Choose Movie)

No Popping and Cracking

Clean wood waste goes into each Home Fire Prest Log, and compressed firelogs do not pop or crack like cord wood in the fire. The popping and cracking of cordwood is produced from small pockets and bubbles of alcohol produced in the wood exploding in the heat of the fire. Compressed firelogs grind up the wood waste into fine particles, which eliminates the alcohol pockets and allows an even quiet burn.

Reduced Creosote Buildup in Flue

Creosote is unburned gases condensing on the flue of the chimney. An inefficient burn results in creosote buildup and needs to be addressed when burning wood. Higher efficiency wood stoves have helped solve this problem to a certain degree, but the greatest factor is in the dryness and efficient BTU conversion of your wood.

Cleaner burning wood is wood with less moisture, a hotter burn , and less volatile gases released during the burn. Home Fire Prest Logs meets all these conditions and is one of the cleanest forms of heat and energy available in the world today. The highly compressed logs goes thorough two stages of a burn: the ignition and the heat conversion stage. During the ignition stage the logs burn with a flame and the wood breaks down into charcoal, volatile gases and liquids. The volatile gases and liquids burn in flame and produce little heat, but it its the charcoal which glows with flameless fire which produces the most heat. Our compressed firelogs are able to produce more heat because of the patented technology which compresses the log to the core allowing it to burn in the heat conversion stage longer. (Choose Movie)

Manufactured Firelogs = Lower CO₂ Emissions

Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming. Burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal contribute to global warming due to the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
(See back up reports on www.woodheat.org)

Firelogs are wood fuel which is considered greenhouse-gas neutral since it releases similar amounts of carbon dioxide if it burns or is left to decay. But smoke from inefficient wood burning is a serious atmospheric pollutant.

Firelogs from Home Fire Prest Logs help homeowners heat more efficiently due to the efficient burning nature of the compressed firelogs. The higher temperature burn means the volatile gases which are released during burning combust in the firebox reducing their pollutant effect on the environment. Normally these gases condense on the flue of the chimney and form deposits we familiarly know as creosote. (Choose Movie)

Compressed Firelogs = Less Volume

Stacking and storing your wood needs to no longer be a problem with the reduced amount space needed by Home Fire Prest Logs. At 380 logs per skid equaling one ton. Storing your firelogs takes very little room. Store them in a dry location free from any source of moisture. (Choose Movie)

No Fungus, Molds, or Bugs in Firelogs

The extreme heat and pressure our wood undergoes in effect pasteurizes it and eliminates all fungus and molds and bugs from the logs. Stack your Home Fire Prest Logs inside in the basement or in the garage without worry of introducing pests into your home with the wood.

What is the Shelf-Life of the Logs

Our logs will store indefinitely in all but wet conditions. We have logs that are 20 years old, and still have taken on very little moisture. All the other manufactured logs will take on moisture and swell up as they are not as dense as our logs.

Home Fire Prest Logs Guarantee Enjoyment

Now with the production of a new firelog from Home Fire Prest Logs, families can enjoy the warmth of a wood fire without the mess. "The logs burn longer, do not spark and pop due to the controlled moisture content and the burn about 4 times as hot as cord wood," says manufacturer Glenn Hermanson. "People who try our logs find they do not fall apart during the burn and with the flat side they do not roll out of the fireplace. In fact, most people who try our logs won't go back to any other log."
