Which is best - Kiln Dried Firewood or Shimada Heat Logs? The results are in and the winner is...... Well, it depends on what you are looking for.
Look and Feel. Winner: Kiln Dried Firewood. You can't get a more attractive burning fuel than Kiln Dried Firewood. Its got it all - beautiful flames, natural looks, attractive aroma and the pop and crackle sound effects.
Heat Output. Winner: Shimada Heat Logs. In laboratory controlled fire performance tests*, Kiln Dried Firewood is no slouch, but the Shimada Heat Logs give out almost 60 percent more heat. This is a result of the manufacturing process which produces a really dense log, with a low moisture content.
Firelife: Draw: No clear winner in this matchup. To extend firelife we recommend burning your logs on a base of smokeless coal briquettes, giving you the best of both worlds.
Ease of Lighting. Draw: Both Kiln Dried Firewood and Shimada Heat Logs are ridiculously easy to light. A handful of Twizler firelighters is enough to get them going with little effort.
Sustainability. Draw: Both Kiln Dried Firewood and Shimada Heat Logs are 100% sustainable products
