I am on the waiting list to receive some coffee logs when they are back in stock. Worth a try I think - I have used the compressed wood shaving logs and they burn fine, but less heat than the ones we use here, which are simple kiln dried logs. I have tried several different logs - the seasoned ones don't give enough heat. These kiln dried are more expensive - but not in the long run. They light easily, chuck out massive amounts of heat (even when draught is on low) and last ages. I had been trying to economise, but anything else is a false economy. And they smell lovely too.
