As for the comparison between the seasoned logs and briquettes, here are a few things that set them apart.
- Briquettes burn cleaner with a high heat output, are cheaper and easier to store and handle.
- The burning capacity and heat output of the wooden logs is comparatively less because the moisture content of briquettes can be as low as 10% while the moisture content of the seasoned logs can be +/- 22%. Evidently briquettes burn quicker and provide a better heat output and burn cleaner and emission free too.
- The time taken by the briquettes to heat up is also shorter as compared to the seasoned logs.
- The residue left behind is also comparatively less.
- Briquettes are easier to store
- The lower moisture content and better packaging of briquttes means there is less risk of insect presence
