What are firelogs?
The term “firelog” or “fire log” can refer to two things. It can mean an artificial log containing gas burners – also known as a “gas log” – designed to give the appearance of a real wood log in a gas fireplace or stove. It can also refer to a log manufactured from compressed sawdust and/or other organic material, sometimes blended with wax, for burning in a fireplace. Gas logs are generally not an air pollution issue; firelogs manufactured for burning may be of concern.
