Reminds me of the newspaper logs which are not great in a wood stove. The leaf logs look like they lack density and they use a glue which is unknown. I suspect they would create a lot of ash, but who knows? Also, they didn't show them burning or discuss their btu content. Maybe contact the inventor for some samples?

Do mean a commercial product or homemade? I've never seen any commercial product around here, but I guess they're more common in England. The link looks like a British one. I found this if someone wants to try making some: http://www.ehow.com/how_6969367_make-fire-logs-out-leaves.html

My personal opinion is that if you have a garden and fruit trees, mulch or compost is the best use for leaves. That's what we do. A bunch of loose dry leaves will burn but very quickly and not a lot of BTU's

Sounds like a smokey mess to me.
I never saw a pile of burning leaves that didn't smoke like crazy.

Must be because the pile wasn't SEASONED enough yet.

I prefer when my leaves blow into the neighbor's yard, a leaf blower helps

So you're the one!

Seems like they would not only smoke but burn quick unless you had a way to really get a tight compression.

I burn leaf logs all the time -- the key is to use only the ones that are at least an inch or two in diameter, before they've branched up into those flat, soggy structures.

I hope the guy makes millions. Theres a ton of useless inventions out there to make yardwork easier. Ive bought into quite a few of them.
And Im not sure how I feel about this one.
Its against the law in NY to burn leaves.

Your sarcasm is appreciated.

Sounds like a bunch of work for limited return.

maybe the right process hasn't been invented yet. what did we do with all that saw dust before pressed logs came out?

 

[Paulywalnut]

I can hear my wife now. "You mean you have to "season" all the leaves now for 3 years too?"

Just the Oak leaves. You can burn Ash leaves after one year.

We insulated ice houses.

Correct, but remember, NEVER burn pine leaves,,,they create too much creosote.

( I mean pine needles)

LOL That's as good a deal as some Craig's List ads I've seen.

Yeah, but are they in "log" form?

 

[gerry100]

My guess is more light than heat
