Depending on the type of wax, how much wax, and the amount of molasses you used the quantity of grounds needed will vary. The coffee logs are an excellent way of getting a fire started quickly, or building it back up when dwindling.

For example, some people prefer a hottter fire and will burn through more fuel compared to a more atmospheric slow burn. To add to all this, we have the feel-good factor of knowing that you’re using a product produced from 100% waste, and which saves on greenhouse gas emissions.

One environmentally conscious way to bring warmth to your home is by creating logs using upcycled coffee grounds. This log burned for a little less than an hour, and the smoke was minimal, the house smelled amazing — like molasses coffee cookies. From the cheery glow that they offer to the aromatic scent of wood smoke, timber logs are a favoured fuel for homeowners seeking combustible material for an indoor stove.

We have both a wood stove and a multi fuel stove ( see the main differences between them here) and find that they burn even better in our stoves than our open fireplace. Bio-Bean, the manufacturer of the coffee logs we’ve most recently bought, explain that each coffee log is made from recycled coffee grounds from around 25 cups of coffee.But you don’t have to worry about your house smelling like the local coffee hangout, as Coffee Logs don’t smell of coffee when they’re burning. It is of the utmost importance that your grounds are completely dry and that your mixture is thoroughly and well blended with a glossy, sludge-like consistency before setting the log. Smouldering fuel to try to extend burn time is bad for your stove, flue and the environment due to unburned particulate matter in the smoke. Coffee Logs burn long and slow under normal airflow conditions – more air will give a gentle flame and good heat.

Are you oftentimes reluctant to start the wood burner because of the sheer overhead and mess of wood logs? You can even make your own coffee logs at home if you have sufficient waste grounds and rather a lot of patience. Also, the sludge-like consistency should be thick enough such that the log molds and sticks together easily.

They take to the flame immediately and require little intervention – perhaps occasional rearrangement when the logs crumble into smaller fragments.That makes them a better value option for anyone who wants to heat their home - and because they reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as the waste being discarded, Coffee Logs also help the environment too. Moreover, compared with other manufactured logs, coffee-ground logs emit fewer unpleasant odors and do not produce as much soot build-up in the chimney. We would recommend using Kiln dried or well seasoned logs on a regular basis but we found the coffee logs to be a nice alternative should you fancy something different. I also find they produce a lot of ash – unlike logs – and the ash is more like coal ash than wood ash, so builds up.
