Hotmax Heat Logs 20kg – High-Performance Wood Fuel

Enjoy powerful, convenient heat with this 20kg bag of Hotmax heat logs. Designed as a clean and easy-to-handle alternative to traditional firewood, these high-density fuel briquettes are ideal for keeping your home warm, lighting an outdoor fire or providing natural heat for suitable outdoor cooking appliances.

Hotmax heat logs are made from compacted softwood dust and wood particles created during British timber-production processes. This recycled material is compressed under high pressure to form dense fuel logs without the need for added chemicals, artificial binders or other additives. All the timber used in the production process is sourced from sustainably managed British forestry, making Hotmax an excellent choice for customers looking for a more responsible wood fuel.

Low-Moisture Fuel with a High Heat Output

With an approximate moisture content of just 7%, Hotmax heat logs contain significantly less moisture than typical seasoned firewood. Less energy is therefore wasted evaporating water from the fuel, allowing the logs to generate strong, useful heat quickly.

Hotmax lists an energy output of approximately 17–18 MJ/kg, making these compact fuel logs ideal when you need to bring your stove or fire up to temperature. Their consistent size, density and moisture content also provide more predictable performance than irregular pieces of traditional firewood.

The logs produce minimal waste after burning, with an ash residue of approximately 3%. This means less ash to remove from your stove or fireplace and a cleaner, more convenient heating experience.

Ready to Burn Certified Hotmax Heat Logs

Hotmax heat logs are Woodsure Ready to Burn certified, confirming that they meet the UK requirements for domestic wood fuel with a moisture content below 20%. Choosing a low-moisture fuel supports more efficient combustion while helping to reduce unnecessary smoke and emissions.

They are virtually smokeless when burned correctly in a suitable appliance and provide a clean, bright flame with very little sparking. This makes them a practical fuel for everyday home heating as well as occasional outdoor use.

Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use

These versatile Hotmax heat logs can be used in a wide range of suitable appliances, including:

• Wood-burning stoves
• Multi-fuel stoves
• Open fires
• Firepits
• Chimineas
• Outdoor braziers
• Compatible BBQs and ceramic grills

Their natural and odourless heat makes them particularly useful for outdoor cooking, while their fast heat output helps to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere around firepits and chimineas. Always check the instructions supplied with your stove, fireplace or cooking appliance before choosing your fuel.

Quick and Easy to Light

Hotmax heat logs are easy to break into smaller pieces, allowing you to control how much fuel is added to your fire. To light them, break or cut a few thin discs from a log and arrange them over a small amount of dry paper. Once lit, gradually add larger pieces until the fire reaches the required temperature.

Because Hotmax heat logs generate high levels of heat quickly, begin with a small amount of fuel, especially when using them for the first time. Add further pieces gradually rather than filling the appliance immediately. Always follow the appliance manufacturer’s operating instructions and avoid overfiring your stove.

Convenient 20kg Bag

The 20kg Hotmax heat logs bag provides a generous supply of compact fuel without the bulk and variation associated with loose logs. The dense briquettes are clean to handle, simple to stack and easy to divide into smaller portions when required.

Store the bag in a dry, covered location and reseal or protect any unused logs from moisture once the packaging has been opened. Whether used as your main wood fuel or kept as a reliable addition to your existing firewood supply, Hotmax heat logs offer high heat, low moisture and convenient performance throughout the year.
