Calorific value is the energy contained in fuel, determined by measure of the
measuring the heat produced by the complete combustion of a amount of heat the
specified quantity of it. fuel releases.

RadiAnt Mean OUTPUT DENSITY


Radiant heat output is heat energy transmitted by electromagnetic Hotties Heatlogs are denser than their rivals
waves in contrast to heat transmitted by conduction or convection. and do not expand during burning.

The difference in the heat output and radiant mean figures is due to the fact that Radiant heat has a higher watts output per metre, per degree than
convection heating. A product requires less radiant heat for less time to do the job of a standard convected product over a longer period of time.
Hotties Heatlogs compare favourably with other household fuels. If you compare t hem directly with fresh seasoned wood, you will see you
get far more energy density for your money. Why pay for water when you can buy dried wood with a m
 oisture content of approx 6%.
