HotMax Logs
Right, it’s that time of year when we need to have a natter about camping, campfires, and why HotMax logs might just be your new best mate on your next outdoor adventure.
You know the drill: you’ve spent the day bouncing your 4x4 down muddy lanes, found the perfect spot, pitched your tent (eventually), and now it’s time for the best bit - lighting up the fire pit, cracking open a beer, and putting your feet up.
Enter HotMax: The Unsung Hero of Campfire Fuel
Now, you could spend ages foraging for twigs and damp logs that do nothing but spit sparks at you, and consequently burn through your new fleece (don’t ask), but why bother when you’ve got HotMax? Made from 100% recycled pine dust (the same stuff posh horses sleep on), these compacted logs are as dry as your uncle’s jokes and burn hotter than a chip pan fire. No chemicals, no weird smells, just pure, unadulterated British wood, ready to go.
They’re easy to light, don’t spit, and burn clean, so you won’t be coughing up smoke or spending half your night poking at embers. Plus, they’re less messy than lugging bags of traditional logs, which means more room in the 4x4 for essentials (like extra biscuits). That said, don’t get them wet as they tend to crumble apart, but in my experience that’s the same with all compressed logs.
What’s the Craic with HotMax?
HotMax logs are the lovechild of BedMax, the Royal Warrant-holding company famed for their horse bedding. Instead of letting all that pine sawdust go to waste, they squish it into dense, chunky logs, ready to set your wood burner (and your spirits) ablaze. No chemicals, no preservatives, and definitely no horsey smells, just 100% British, freshly-cut pine, recycled and repurposed for your fire pit.
Cooking and Keeping Warm – Sorted
HotMax logs are perfect for fire pit cooking. They get up to temperature quickly, giving you a lovely bed of hot embers for grilling sausages, toasting marshmallows, or even a full English if you’re feeling fancy. And because they burn consistently, you won’t have to keep faffing about topping up the fire every five minutes.
When the sun goes down and the temperature drops, these logs throw out enough heat to keep you and your mates toasty, so you can stay outside swapping stories long after the last marshmallow’s been nicked.
Leave No Trace – Be a Good Egg
One of the best things about using a fire pit and HotMax logs is how easy it is to tidy up. Minimal ash, no half-burnt logs, and barely any mess left behind. Just pack it all up, give the ground a quick once-over, and leave your campsite looking as good as you found it.
The Verdict
So, there you have it. HotMax logs aren’t just for keeping your terraced house warm, they’re a game-changer for camping fire pits too. Easy to carry, simple to light, and hot enough to keep even the coldest northerner happy. Next time you’re heading out for a weekend in the wild, sling a bag in the boot and thank us later.
Just remember: keep it safe, keep it tidy, and never trust anyone who says they don’t like toasted marshmallows.
Available in 10kg and 20kg bags with prices around £8.50 and £13.50 respectively.
