<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Modern Firelogs are Safe
According to an article in silive.Com, most modern firelogs are no longer made with petroleum products and chemicals, which makes them safer to burn. The latest brands of firelogs are made with natural vegetable waxes and some are even made from re-used coffee grounds. Hearth.com states that firelogs---due to having a controlled burn rather than throwing sparks---have a remarkable safety record, with millions of firelogs burned safely across the globe each year.
On the Other: Chemical Firelogs Can Be Dangerous
Firelogs that are chemical based or that have petroleum as an ingredient generally burn hotter than normal firelogs and can be toxic when cooking food over them, according to firepit-and-grilling-guru.com.
Bottom Line
Purchase firelogs made up of safe components such as natural vegetable waxes or re-used coffee grinds and avoid chemical firelogs or petroleum firelogs.
