Enviro-friendly log options

A pretty spiffy alternative type of log is now available, which is largely composed of recycled coffee grounds. Much better than other artificial logs (especially in terms of what you breathe in), and maybe even better than regular wood fires.

Java-Log

Java-Log is the only product of its kind composed of 100 per cent natural ingredients (wood, coffee and vegetable by-products). It is seven times cleaner burning, emits 96 per cent less residue, 85 per cent less carbon monoxide, and 86% less creosote deposits and than regular wood, while releasing no chemical scent. Java-Log also produces 25 per cent more energy and over three times the flame capacity compared to wood (per unit of wood).

We tend to use real wood rather than single artificial logs, but I've still ordered us a case. Will let you know how they seem.
