Hotties XL FAQs

Everything you need to know about Wood Fuel Direct products:

A heat log is a type of briquette made from 100% renewable wood residue, like chippings and sawdust, which is highly compressed to form a solid log. No gluing or binding chemicals. Just a natural, sustainable wood fuel.

Good quality heat logs, like Hotties XL, Hotties Heat Logs and Pizazz Pizza Logs, are extremely efficient and generate an incredible amount of heat. They contain very little moisture, leaving your wood burning appliances clean with minimal ash. You can use our heat logs on their own or to complement your existing firewood supply.

Hotties & Hotties XL – Hotties are made up of the sawdust, wood chips and renewable materials which are compressed into heat logs, with no additives or binding agents.

Pizazz – 100% UK grown Hardwood, no additives or binders

Ignite – Renewable untreated wood shavings, dipped in wax

Hotties XL should be stored in a dry, indoor environment.

Hotties XL logs are denser and contain around 8% moisture, making them significantly drier than seasoned logs, kiln-dried logs, and other heat logs. This results in a more powerful and consistent heat output. As a result, they are more cost-effective and convenient, offering better value by producing more heat per log due to their low moisture content.

You can use Hotties XL on just about any fuel appliance, including open fires, firepits, chimineas, wood and multi-fuel stoves, pizza ovens, and even log boilers.

How to light a fire using hotties:

1. Break into smaller pieces to fit into stove

Hotties XL are larger in size than original Hotties Heat Logs, so breaking down into smaller sizes is recommended.

2. Arrange pieces in stove with ignite fire lighter in the middle

Supplement this with kindling if required

3. Ignite fire and enjoy

Light firelighter and open any airflow controls to allow the fire to start quickly

Are Hotties XL better value than ordinary wood logs?

Traditional wood logs are often sold in cubic metres. This is because it is difficult to compare weight due to the variation in moisture content, which affects heat output. The tables below show that wood logs need to be very low in both cost and moisture to compete with Hotties XL:
