LEKTO Wood 🪵 Fuels, The real truth.

[@helpvid]

These are night logs, throw on when you go to bed they keep burning through the night

[@Arfursmallpigeon]

LOL...

[@RichardFoleher]

My facebook feed is full of ads lately for those heat logs. Everyone saying how great they are so here I am, watching this and the results are exactly as I suspected. Cheers matey

[@Sharps.50]

Is there any wonder just one log , no bottom in that fire , no wonder the temperature is gone to pot , get real & give them a proper test 😅🤣😂

[@robstahl2531]

Night briquettes are to keep it alive.....not to run the heating !..

[@Arfursmallpigeon]

Waste of time then Einstein?

[@setyoureyes]

This video was very useful. Especially at 1.5x speed.

[@tohottotrot]

They always sell coal wet to make the weight up! like your direct talk and comments, could have tried with more embers and say 2 logs for a real test, note the other youtubers lekto do not have comments! is always a worry! keep up the good work.

[@phillipbarrigan8196]

1 log against a big stacked fire, you are having a laugh mate

[@DeanW-1990]

Hahahaha this geezer must be on another plannet saying your not getting the same result as a fully rammed fire with coal compared to one small log 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂

[@TrevUk]

What hrs saying is, that 1 log cost the same as those two logs and shovel and coal. So the logs per kW of heat is there to see in the video.

[@AnthonyLauder]

I use those briquettes like the one you put in the fire, but get them way cheaper from a different supplier than the price you mentioned. 1,000 kg of those briquettes costs me about 200 quid, so I can put 4 at a time on the fire. At the price you are paying, it is like burning money.

[@john-louiswepener2230]

Whats wrong with just using the Night Briquettes burning low and slow overnight and using logs from the embers in the morning. I do thatband works a treat

[@syjhomedecor1995]

Thanks for an honestly genuine review.

[@raythomas7589]

Try using one log ! what results do you get

[@grumpy8870]

Wow, Thanks!!! Just in time to save me lots of cash because I was seriously thinking of buying a pallet load... 😱

[@lansdorf]

My coal supplier is great, when you turn up theres no on there you just load up and put your money in a honesty box. Great guy and no one robs him.

[@MrLittleowl]

An ordinary candle will burn for hours but will not heat your room

[@mack26ish]

I wondered why when you watch Lektos videos they don't show them burning, thanks for that.

[@martinkirby3270]

Thanks mate,,you've confirmed what I suspected

[@RichardFoleher]

Same here

[@Arfursmallpigeon]

Just another gimmick for gullible newbs new to woodburners.

[@sloughone1]

Crazy expensive way to heat your home These Lekto fuel logs are 5 X the cost of mains gas per kwh. Always check the price per kwh and compare to mains gas or electricity.

[@alex_ob1]

Could you please provide your working?

[@sloughone1]

@@alex_ob1 Wood is about 5kwh per kilogram of heat output when burnt. Divide the cost of a kg of these wood bricks by 5 to get price per kwh and compare to mains gas etc.

[@TV.FAN.OO7]

If you can purchase smokeless coal in bulky, 50 x 20kg at once. Buy from a northern Ireland coal merchant who delivery to England to save money

[@Nickpaintbrush]

I used to get the fake logs sold by the likes of B&M and one log would burn quite hot for an hour at least and not too dear !

[@gumacanian4211]

It's getting a bit brass knuckles over here in the Philippines too..Might have to get the BBQ going and get us back to 30 degrees..what can you do?

[@harvey1692]

You can’t compare 1 heat log to 2 oak logs and a couple of shovels of coal!! You need to compare the weight of the log and the weight of the oak and coal surely!!

[@wallingtonfilming]

What the bloody hell are u talking about? What are y on? Ca. I buy some off you 😀

[@pierer91]

He's comparing cost lol. Whats the point spending the money on them if its 10 times the price

[@obi-wankenobi8043]

It's not even hot enough to make the fan go around mate . 😁 best wishes for xmas and all that ! 😁 👍 👍 kind regards Alexander . 😁 👍 👍 .

[@opheliumzone4671]

keeps the fanny warm though

[@clarewalker5903]

I'm sure the instructions are to use your usual fuel to get the temperature up, then add these. It didn't look like you had the fire going well enough to begin with. The night briquettes are just to keep a slow burn. I'm happy with mine using them this way.

[@PoohBear01]

What KW is your stove? I have to say that was not my experience! Them heat logs have a high calorific value, twice that of a log.

[@andymoseley2230]

Try putting about 3 on at a time to match the pile of coal you put in, not affiliated but just wondering

[@wallingtonfilming]

That is just not cost 💲 affective

[@PoohBear01]

@@wallingtonfilming Why have like a 12KW stove then?

[@clarkfinlay78]

you normally get heat logs from supermarkets etc and occasionally they are good prices, they burn really hot and look similar to these but with a hole through the middle down the length of the heat log. Not sure about these I tend to assume any thing with glowing reviews all over the internet is fake to be honest

[@wallingtonfilming]

They are all crap 💩

[@paulfisher7911]

im like you look for alternatives but iv def stopped buying coal as too expensive but i got a chainsaw for birthday and i go out looking for fallen trees n then get em aswell as pallets from wharehouses at min im sourceing all my wood for free as like you say the logs have shot up in price

[@SonofChurchill]

🕯Good honest review 😂 Edit: Is there much wood on site you can have (off cuts)

[@wallingtonfilming]

Got something new in the pipeline watch this space for a riveting video on heating your house 🏡🕯☕️🚬

[@mcpainters]

When you spray new builds do you do woodwork first to completion then walls then ceilings thinking getting into spraying myself as its killing me working like a dog onsite. Thanks mark

[@Kazi2812]

Trims first mate. Walls and ceilings after, chuck some masking tape on the trims once dry to get a crisp line.

[@GrenMagg]

Not an accurate comparison, if you filled the stove with logs and coal but only put one briquette in. I know myself the briquettes are not great but you at least need to make a fair comparison.

[@leomac4886]

Wow, that’s a vast open fire and you’ve put one log on which will do 5kWh/kg vs god knows how much wood and coal - try 2 logs

[@RichardFoleher]

Then your costs sky rocket

[@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594]

Did you ever think that you might need to burn multiple logs at once to get peak performance instead of a single log ?

[@wallingtonfilming]

Not at them prices, listen to what I say in the video

[@goonluv]

soft wood burns really hot for your burner

[@tomthetaletellerphillips]

Honest question, do you know how to make a proper fire and how to use a log burner? That log won't do anything if the bed you're putting it on is so small and cold. You get a good, hot bed of ash and coals and those logs will kick out the heat, they do for me!

[@The_Horny_Ghost]

This seems to be a problem of storing the heat, which seems to be zero in this situation and a big one in the united islands of monarchy(keep your independence who can!). Hot fire, big heat, only now, nothing to store the heat but the plate steel of the fireplace. Most of the energy goes "to the birds". (A saying, to let the heat out of the house go to waste. Birds like those places for reasons). Build a big fireplace to store the heat, brick, stone, concrete. Have the hot gasses/air give all they can to the mass, not just going from the fireplace straight to the sky. Burn it hot when heating, but after that you can keep a small fire to maintain. Because when built well, most of the heat goes in the mass of the fireplace and not trough a pipe to the sky. It means you can sleep when there is no fire, because the mass has the energy stored. The next day you dont need to build a hellfire to heat EVERYTHING FOR 5 MINUTES, but keep a steady fire to heat up the mass. For some reasons to us nordic people pressed coal briquets is only used in bbq in summer. Not as a heat source in winter. We know how to get heat out of wood and get the most of it............. And for TOMTHE,,, i commented here because you are completely right. Big log needs support. one compressed "log" is still a log Needs a bit support ofcourse. For candleman: Put a 8x8x20 pure log in a fireplace as the only one and how it burns on its own. Does it heat your shitty fireplace hot enough?

[@paulbolger5761]

The are pure crap stick to your hardwood and you will have heat great video

[@1988rixy]

My advice to you candle is bin the logs and coal, do what I said below in the previous comment. £100 for 5 ton bags last me months and months for non treated timber 👍🏻

[@wallingtonfilming]

The day’s of buying wood 🪵 & Coal are over mate, Chinese heaters are the way forward or convert your log burner to burn 🔥 waste oil .. 🕯☕️🚬

[@stevenolivero5207]

My log burner heats my central heating and hot water and i have tried a few briquettes and I find the heat laughable to. so I'm still on coal and wood .and yes wood suppliers are taking the piss as more people are turning to log burner for cheap fuel. but if the prices go up more people will turn back to gas and the log suppliers will cry as there will be one to sell to. joke will be on them.

[@williamgarnett8796]

you need to put in more than one at a time, load the stove like you do with your other fuel, putting one in is just so silly,. put in 3

[@bornforfreetaxtothedeath..7542]

These never will be cost efective, so disapointing they not even give good heat... We use seasoned logs during a day, and smokeles coal during night... I found best to buy off season (spring/summer), u get best prices.. I buy un-seasoned logs from tree surgeons nearly half the price, and dry it up my self. Smokeless coal no choice really, just have to shop around, or buy in bulk to safe overall...

[@stevejohnson6111]

Solid fuel is the way to go I think. I know it's getting more and more expensive but in my opinion it works out a much cheaper option than wood. Hotmax fuel logs are brilliant for a quick warm up but solid fuel is better for keeping the fire going all day.

[@1988rixy]

At the end of the day we are burning what we can for as little as we can. Again I used Facebook, a local timber company that build roof trusses etc fill up the ton bulk bags with decent off cuts. Ok I have to cut some down to size but for £20 a ton bag it’s a win win candle. Some People want £100 per bag for logs 🤔 I can get 5 ton bags for their one. I empty the transit van of painting gear and go and get 3 bags a time, think smarter 🤔🫡. Some people paying £20 a 20kg bag for logs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@1oldson]

didnt look like enough air intake. had much better results than that

[@alantaylor6911]

Its all about kw/h. Per £. V the environment.

[@nigelbath]

i agree with you they are rubbish

[@stephengirling7859]

The clue is in the name. NIGHT BRIQUETTES! They are designed to take the chill off the room overnight and produce embers in the morning. Not a fair review.

[@johnbutcher8670]

Dude clearly didn’t research what these are. What a plonker.

[@markwood5277]

Your crap lol! You need more compressed wood logs in there to get anywhere near coal heat output. You should have 2-3 in there.

[@leaf3228]

Poor comparison there. If you filled the fire with the same volume of briquettes as you did with the coal you would have got more heat from the briquettes. As much as coal, I don't know but we both know which is better for three environment.

[@timj7920]

Did you watch the video? Why have you introduced environmental considerations into this discussion when this is not what this post was about? The point of the video is the economic and heating benefits of alternatives fuel sources to coal and wood, the environmental impact of burning any fuels is a different discussion completely. By replacing wood/coal with this type of fuel source will financially cost far more to gain an equivalent heat output, which is something the suppliers of the fuel are misleading consumers on. So for a non scientific test, this is very helpful and also matches my own disappointing experience with this fuel source.

[@matthewmemz2380]

You compared one of those chip wood logs to two large pieces of wood and 20 coal lumps 😂
