As part of my pre living on a boat research I was wondering what you guys think about the Compressed Sawdust type logs being advertised. I already see many of you say stick to smokeless coal and forget wood in any form. As I have a huge stock pile of seasoned wood I’m preparing logs to use occasionally but not as my main fuel choice. The reason I’m asking about the compressed sawdust logs is local to me a chap has a 1 ton builders bag plus a half bag of them priced at £50 the lot so daft investment or not?

As long as you can keep them dry they work well slightest bit damp and its a shovel job!!

As Peter says any dampness gets to them and they are useless, as most boaters keep there fuel on the outside of the boat they are not the most appropriate.

I tried them and as has been said they're ok but if they get even slightly damp they just turn back to sawdust

We use them at home usually as a back up. Our normal method is a bed of smokeless with seasoned hardwood logs.
We can keep the sawdust logs dry in the garage but that might be a challenge on the boat, as others have said they hate the slightest bit of damp.

I bought some and hated them, there will be a good reason he is selling them cheap. Logs are pretty when they burn but take up a lot of space. I suggest logs when you have visitors to impress them with your back to basics, rustic life style; coal if you just want to keep warm.

I used them quite a bit in the multifuel burner but not in the Rayburn at Horror House..but as others have said slight bit of damp and they disintegrate and then they make an awful mess..I brought a load cheap and regretted it
