Maximize your home heating with tips on using GreenMountainFire logs and briquettes efficiently. Whether you're using a wood stove, furnace, or outdoor fire pit, we’ll show you how to build longer-lasting, cleaner-burning fires with our expertly crafted products.

You've got the best fire logs on the market — now let’s make sure you're getting the most from them. Here are a few tips to help you burn smarter with GreenMountainFire:

1. Start with a Clean Firebox

Before each burn, clean out old ash and ensure proper airflow. Our logs don’t produce as much ash as traditional wood, but a clean space makes for an easier light and a hotter burn.

2. Use the Right Amount

GreenMountainFire logs burn hotter and longer than split logs, so you typically need fewer to get the same heat. Start with one or two, and add more as needed — don’t overfill your stove or pit.

3. Optimize Airflow

Our logs burn best with good oxygen flow. Make sure your stove’s damper is adjusted to allow clean combustion, especially during ignition. Once burning steadily, you can reduce the airflow to maintain temperature.

Learn how decades of experience in the wood industry shaped the creation of GreenMountainFire. This post dives into our passion for perfecting the fire log manufacturing process—from responsibly sourced wood to the warm, consistent burn you enjoy at home.

GreenMountainFire was born from a simple, powerful idea: fires should be better. Warmer. Cleaner. Easier. Safer. Our founders come from a long line of woodworkers and forestry professionals who’ve worked with timber for generations. That deep respect for nature, fire, and craftsmanship is what guides us today.

Over the years, we saw the downsides of traditional firewood — inconsistency, moisture problems, wasted wood, and environmental concerns. So we started asking better questions:
What if fire logs could burn longer and cleaner? What if they were easier to store and better for the environment?

After years of experimentation and testing, GreenMountainFire was launched to bring premium, 100% wood fire logs and briquettes to households across North America. We source from sustainable forestry operations and transform leftover sawdust and woodchips into tightly compressed logs — no binders, no chemicals, just pure wood.

From our factory floor to your hearth, every log is part of our mission: to make fires better for homes, better for people, and better for the planet.

Discover the benefits of using 100% wood fire logs over traditional firewood or synthetic alternatives. At GreenMountainFire, our logs are crafted with generations of expertise to offer a cleaner burn, longer heat, and a more sustainable fire experience for your stove, fireplace, or fire pit.

When it comes to heating your home or enjoying a cozy outdoor fire, not all fuel is created equal. At GreenMountainFire, we’ve spent decades perfecting the art and science of manufacturing 100% wood fire logs — and the benefits speak for themselves.

Here’s why you should make the switch:

• Cleaner Burning: Our fire logs are made entirely from kiln-dried, compressed wood with no fillers or chemicals. That means fewer emissions, less creosote buildup in your chimney, and a healthier environment for you and your family.

• More Heat, Less Waste: The density of our briquettes and logs ensures a longer, more consistent burn. You’ll use fewer logs for more heat, saving both time and money.

• Eco-Friendly: We use responsibly sourced wood byproducts to reduce waste in the lumber industry. Our production process minimizes environmental impact while maximizing efficiency.

• Convenient & Consistent: Unlike traditional firewood, our logs are uniform in size and moisture content, making them easier to store, stack, and ignite.

Whether you’re heating your home or gathering around the fire pit, GreenMountainFire logs deliver reliable warmth you can feel good about.
