Firelog

A firelog is a manufactured log constructed to be used as wood fuel. Firelogs are designed to be inexpensive, whilst being easier to ignite, burn longer, and burn more efficiently than firewood. Firelogs are traditionally manufactured using two methods; the first method is involves compressing sawdust into logs, while the second combines sawdust with paraffin or other binding agents, which is mixed and extruded into a log shape. The extruded firelogs are individually wrapped in paper packaging which can be ignited to start burning the firelog as the paraffin is readily combustible.
