I use WD-40 to lightly clean the top of my log burner. (Obviously not when its burning). Have done it for 10 years. The installer who put it in said he was been recommending it for years. I only do it once a year and only use a small amount with a rag, then give it a good polish to get rid of any residue. I also open the window to let any fumes out. I wouldn't use it on the glass. Ash and warm water are fine for that I find.

Hi Tony and Sonya, One thing that you will enjoy about consistent heat is the reduction in moisture throughout the boat. Air moisture will always make the air feel colder or hotter. By reducing the air moisture will also help keep the mold down. Hope the "night bricks" work out for you. Mark Alberta, Canada

Can you grill with kiln drird
@lektowoodfuels 7 ай бұрын
Of course. Kiln-dried firewood is dried to a higher standard than seasoned firewood, so it's a lot safer to cook on. If you choose oak, it'll also push out a very respectable amount of heat (fun fact authentic Italian pizzerias only use oak logs in their ovens). This being said, our Lumpwood Charcoal is a far better fit for grilling. It's made in a low-oxygen environment, so it's almost 100% pure carbon. This means it's super easy to light, burns at a very high temperature, contains no binders or other chemicals, and responds quickly to airflow controls.

@lektowoodfuels 8 ай бұрын
Your room will start feeling warmer in just 5 minutes. Getting the full effect can take 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of your room. Hardwood Heat Logs give off far more heat than any other wood fuel on the UK market, and they heat up rooms super quickly thanks to their energy density and chimney-effect-creating shape. Overheating can only become an issue if you completely ignore the provided instructions. For first-time users, we recommend using 1/3-1/2 of a heat log as--regardless of your expectations--you will find that they push out more heat than you think they would.

@lektowoodfuels 9 ай бұрын
We don't typically work with coal, but I don't see a reason why it shouldn't. Dying embers are perfect for two reasons: a) their presence guarantees that your stove is pre-heated and b) they provide enough heat to light the night briquettes, yet not too much heat (which can make them burn out faster than in 8 hours). As long as your coal isn't TOO hot, I don't personally see a problem with using it this way. Please tell us how it goes, so we can update our guides.

Would you do a video comparing the burning time of kiln dried vs air dried of the same species ?
@lektowoodfuels 10 ай бұрын
As they contain more moisture, the seasoned logs would produce a lot more smoke when burned. This smoke contains hundreds of organic compounds, many of which (such as creosote), are harmful to human health and the environment. The production of this smoke also "sucks up" some of the heating energy from the logs, so seasoned logs will end up emitting less heat than their kiln-dried counterparts. Another side effect of this moisture evaporation and smoke production is a minimal increase in burn time, which varies from species to species. This being said, if long burn time is what you want, then you should check out Night Briquettes. Being made of softwood bark, they can burn for up to 8 hours. This is about 4 times as long as even the most rain-soaked logs can burn for.

Greetings! I probably count as an experienced firewood user, used to help my Granny get her fire lit as a kid in the early '50s, and was nick-named 'Vulcan' as a teenager... All because I could get a traditional open fire roaring, usually by boosting the draught. Yes, kiln-dried is great! I suspect that a lot of the air-dried 'seasoned fire wood' in the UK is pretty damp. Your customers also need to _keep_ their logs somewhere dry - woodsheds here in the UK can be damp! The air is damp! Been sporadically drying our own for the last 30 years or so, since we were burning our own wood - and until recently we had a couple of acres in the UK feeding a massive Fisher with wood harvested from the trees we had planted in the early '90s. But we never got around to coppicing like on Granny's farm. Our own 2~3-year woodshed-seasoned stuff would often have higher-than-20% in the middle of the log. Not surprising, since atmospheric humidity around there was typically much more. A well-ventilated poly-tunnel gave the best results, when the sun was shining. We have downsized now - a UK suburban situation. The compacted sawdust 'heat logs' test well below 20% and burn to a fine powder in a Mendip 'Woodland' stove that came with this house. Regulating the air is vital to a good burn. In Oz we lived on a 'small' property with 10 acres of bush that needed regular tree maintenance (three chainsaws, and my wife had another two) to control the wildfire risk - this fed the four wood-burners and a heap of experiments with 'rocket' stove cores that were truly fascinating. Even in Oz we would bring wood in early from the well-ventilated woodshed to finish drying around the stoves, since there is usually a benefit, especially when lighting up, and we were sweeping our own chimneys. All sorts of 'critters' would come indoors with the wood, even if one was careful. In Oz that can be scary. Measuring the 'seasoned' firewood humidity was often disappointing, even in that dry climate. Interesting to see the evolution of wood stoves that provide much more sophisticated air control - and their adoption for the home. Find that it helps to compare the use of a 'choke' on an IC engine when explaining what goes on in the combustion process, but I find that schools often seem not to have labs with 'Bunsen' burners which are such a very good demonstration. It's all about the ratio of wood-gas to air, just like an IC engine (or Bunsen), so exhaust gas analysis (and temperature measurement) is critical to correct adjustment. Yes, I'm a retired automotive engineer, how did you guess? Thanks for the video!😁

Thank you for the comment! It's always nice to hear from someone who is passionate about wood fuel and has been around it for seventy years. Our wood fuel experts have the same opinion on seasoned logs as you do: It's borderline impossible to dry it fully and consistently, at least here in the UK. If you have the chance, check out our Kiln-Dried Birch Logs. We're extremely proud of them. Seasoned logs simply can't compete!
@bmull81 10 ай бұрын
@@lektowoodfuels Thanks for the response! I plan to try a small pack of your Kiln-dried Birch Logs, and another of your Hardwood Heat Logs since (so far!) we get a better/more consistent result with 'briquette' fuel rather than kiln-dried timber logs in general.They tend to be more variable than the heat log/briquettes in our stove. Tried those coffee-grounds briquettes too! They work well, the lowest residue so far but they are not economically viable here. Price is of course, important, but only when comparing good quality fuels. Price leader here is the Big K Heat log. Purchased locally in larger quantities their KW-per-pound-spent in our second-hand Mendip stove is impressive. According to DEFRA, Big K are based in Holland, as are other briquette makers on their list. Our goal for this winter is to keep warm enough without blowing the budget. Next year the plan is to build another of our rocket heaters, which would reliably get over 90% efficiency when fed with our own seasoned Aussie gum tree logs that are not that well dried - 20% if we are lucky! The secret is to burn all the CO to CO2... Flue analysis revealed that we had no measurable CO in an established burn. Extra heat output and zero toxic CO in the exhaust is worth the effort. I notice that recent models of the Mendip Woodland stove have tertiary air controls - which are needed if the intention is to control the final combustion phase. But do they run hot enough to eat the CO? Will give you a call to place an order soon! Ben 😁

@@bmull81 Hi, Ben! It's rare to see someone as passionate about wood heating as we are, so we're super glad we found you! Our kiln-dried logs are dried to under 10% (peak) moisture at the factory, so I think you'll be surprised at just how consistent of a burn they can give you. Choose birch if you value the aesthetics of a beautiful flame. If a longer burn time and higher heat output are more important to you, then take a look at our oak logs. I'm happy to hear that you liked our Hardwood Heat Logs. They were designed to heat cold rooms quickly and provide a lot of heat for the colder days of the year. But if lowering your heating costs is your main priority, you may want to take a look at our flagship briquette fuel, 8-hour Night Briquettes. They're made of a proprietary mix of softwood bark and can burn for up to 4 times as long as conventional RUF briquettes. This makes them a great set-and-forget solution for situations where you can't tend to the stove. It can also save you quite a bit of money by lowering your wood fuel consumption.

That sounds like a lovely place to live in 😊 If you're not averse to putting in the hard work to cut, split, and season them, you can indeed save a lot of money on your heating by doing this work yourself. Here are a few pointers on seasoning your own logs in the outdoors: 1) Choose a spot that gets plenty of sunlight and wind. This will help your logs get to the Defra-recommended <20% moisture levels quicker. 2) When stacking your logs, make sure to leave enough room between each log for air to pass through. 3) Avoid stacking your logs against a wall, as this may result in moisture traps and mould growth. 4) Measure the moisture level of your logs using a proper wood moisture meter instead of thinking they’re “ready” after a certain amount of months/years. Each part of the UK gets different weather. Each log stack is unique. So take 5-6 logs from different parts of your stack. If all logs show under 20% moisture, it is reasonable to assume that the stack is safe to burn.

How much carbon do these put out when compared to heating with gas?
@lektowoodfuels Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your question. This is a common misconception that we'll gladly dispel. Unlike mains gas (which puts new carbon dioxide into the atmosphere) our wood briquettes are a 100% carbon-neutral source of energy. Lekto briquettes are made from softwood bark, which is a sawmill byproduct which would otherwise end up in a landfill. So the creation of these briquettes actually helps reduce waste. On top of that, the forestries we work with plant new trees for every one they cut, so the carbon dioxide released gets sucked back up into new trees. The problem with wood fuels you're likely referring to comes from people chopping down their own fuel and not seasoning it properly (the excess moisture makes the wood smoulder, a process as a result of which harmful chemicals are created and released into the atmosphere). Properly dried wood fuels, on the other hand, burn cleanly and efficiently. Today, all wood fuels sold in the UK have to abide by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs’ “Ready to Burn” wood quality standard, which sets a limit for how much moisture a piece of wood fuel can contain. Lekto was one of the first companies in the UK to get certified according to this quality assurance scheme.

It's a topic that can take hours to explain as there are many myths and misconceptions floating around. But to put it plainly: a) the problem you are referring to stems mainly from people cutting their own wood and not seasoning it properly (high moisture content leads to smoking and smouldering, which creates creosote and other harmful chemicals), whereas as quality wood fuel products certified according to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs' new "Ready to Burn" standard, such as those made by us at Lekto, are lab-tested to burn cleanly and efficiently; b) wood fuel is a much greener, renewable alternative to highly polluting coal, peat, and gas, which millions of British households still rely on for their winter heat. In a 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, it was shown that a transition from coal to wood fuel cuts heating carbon emissions by between 74% to 85% (depending on the household in question).

Hahhahah. All joking aside, if used properly (placed in a well-heated stove and on top of glowing embers), Night Briquettes do not smoulder. They burn cleanly and with moderate heat output. Depending on the size of your stove, you will need to use 2-3 briquettes per night. Many of our clients have started using them as their main wood fuel during milder weather to economise on their wood heating. During colder weather, we recommend transitioning to Fire Logs, Sawdust Briquettes, or Heat Logs. These options won't burn anywhere near as long, but they will provide more than enough heat to keep your house toasty in any weather.

Hello. That's definitely not how they should behave. If you followed our instructions, then there could be 3 causes of your problem. 1) Perhaps your appliance is larger than average, in which case you may see better results by using 3-4 briquettes at a time 2) Your appliance may be of an older kind or has some damage (we recommend having your appliance inspected once every 12 months). If this is the case, you may want to purchase a new wood burner or fix your existing one if possible. 3) Perhaps your Night Briquettes have been stored for a long time outside their protective packaging. In this case, moisture could've seeped in, greatly harming their performance. Unfortunately, there is no way to re-dry a briquette fuel and fix this problem. If neither of these solutions helps you and your problems persist, please contact our friendly customer support service. They'll be happy to help you.

This isn't the best way of lighting Pini Kay or Seasoned wood. Top down firefighting requires fewer pieces of kindling, fewer pieces of firelighter, produces less smoke as it gets going, allows you to preload the stove with more fuel, saving the need to refuel as often and is completely superior. The kindling heats the firebox, creates a good draft quickly and the logs begin to gassify, once tried you'll never go back. I would also question the need to open the bottom draft if using this method, just leave the door ajar long enough to get the kindling blazing then shut and you're good.

Yes, they do. If used according to the provided instructions, Night Briquettes should last you around 8 hours. The actual burn time you'll experience is also influenced by your airflow setting (less airflow equals a longer burn) and the type of appliance you are using. The absolute burn time record our clients have reported was over 14 hours, but that was with a small appliance. As far as heat output is concerned, Night Briquettes are a perfect standalone fuel for milder weather (and a perfect nighttime fuel for any weather), but they are not designed to be used in the bitterest of cold. When the temperatures drop, it is best to transition to our new Fire Logs, which can burn for around 3 hours and produce a lot more heat.
