As title, has anyone on here tried the following?

Just wondering if they are as good as the website states.

Only if your fireplace / woodburner is just for decoration.

They don't give out any useful heat, and at £65 for 72 logs you could get better at 1/4 of the price, even in expensive Surrey.

I have used these:

In the woodburner (well,multifuel) in our living room, in a 17th century farmhouse, single glazed windows, doors that didn't fit and a flagstone floor.
When they say use sparingly, they do mean it. You only need a few to get the heat up, then one or two at a time to keep it going, let them burn down to just embers and then chuck another one on.
They weren't much cop in the rayburn - although they produced a LOT of heat, they burnt too quickly in there, and you were constantly feeding this glowing behemoth in the kitchen.

The stove itself came with a promo pag of some other eco logs in it. They were total st, so ~I can well understand people nay-saying them all.

I bought some agrol heatlogs. They are ok, burning for over an hour and light very easily in a cold stove. I don't notice any particular increase in heat output over hardwood logs.

The agrol logs come in packs of 12, so you can buy a couple of packs for about £10 to experiment.

Why not just buy normal logs?

No reason at all to not buy normal logs, no reason not to give these a go if they are any good.

I use something pretty much the same in our wood burners more out of convenience than anything. Very easy to get the fire going quickly and up to temperature which is ideal on a mid week evening, can just load it up with whatever else once its going (we use a mix of logs and smokeless fuel)

Make sure you have space in a garage or shed to store them though, they suck up moisture given the chance and are then as good as wet cotton wool...
