Description
Woodlets Heat Logs – Large Softwood Heat Logs
Woodlets Heat Logs are large, cylindrical logs made from compressed softwood sawdust. They produce excellent heat with an attractive flame and are suitable for general burning in stoves and open fires.
Each heat log weighs approximately 2kg. They’re relatively easy to break, so you can adjust the size to suit your stove or firebox.
What are Woodlets Heat Logs made from?
Woodlets Heat Logs are made from mixed softwood sawdust sourced from sustainably managed British forests, all within 40 miles of the factory.
They’re manufactured by the same company that makes our bestselling Woodlets Briquettes.
There are no additives, chemicals or artificial binders. The pure, untreated wood by-product is held together by compression alone.
What are they like to burn?
Woodlets Heat Logs give strong heat with an attractive, active flame. Each log has an active burn time of approximately 1.5–2 hours.
The exact results will vary depending on your stove, flue and airflow settings.
Where can I use them?
These heat logs are suitable for stoves and open fires. Although they’re larger than standard Woodlets Briquettes, they’re relatively easy to break into smaller pieces.
This makes them suitable for a range of stove and firebox sizes.

Do I need to break them before burning?
Yes, at least until you’re familiar with how they behave in your stove.
Woodlets Heat Logs expand as they burn, so we recommend breaking them in half and using one half at a time. When starting the fire, use three half-logs.
Leave enough room for the pieces to expand and don’t position a full heat log where it could expand against the stove glass or out onto the hearth.
Can I use them in an open fire?
Yes. Woodlets Heat Logs are suitable for open fires as well as stoves.
Because they’re relatively easy to break, you can adjust the size of the pieces to suit your fire.
Can they be used in a Smoke Control Area?
Woodlets Heat Logs are suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas when burned in a DEFRA-approved appliance.
They’re Ready to Burn certified and meet FSC sustainability standards.
You can read more about the scheme in our guide to Ready to Burn wood fuel.

How should Woodlets Heat Logs be stored?
Woodlets Heat Logs must be kept completely dry.
Suitable storage places include a watertight shed, dry garage, porch, conservatory, dry outbuilding or inside the house. They can also be kept in a watertight plastic garden store.
Don’t leave them in a traditional open log store, an uncovered area or a damp building. Compressed wood fuel is already very dry and will absorb moisture if exposed to it. Once damp, the logs begin to expand and can eventually turn back into sawdust.
Is the packaging waterproof?
No. Each pack is plastic wrapped to hold the heat logs together, but the wrapping isn’t fully sealed or waterproof.
Pallets also arrive plastic wrapped to protect them during transport. This provides temporary protection from the weather, but it isn’t suitable for outdoor storage. Make sure you can move the fuel under cover or protect it as soon as it arrives.
Please check with your local authority to find out whether the packaging can be recycled in your area.
