An artificial firelog of the invention includes as constituents (a) a combustible cellulosic material and (b) a combustible non-petroleum wax, wherein the relative proportions of the constituents are, by weight, from about 30% to about 70% of (a) and from about 30% to about 70% of (b) for 100 parts of (a) and (b). In one form of the invention, the combustible non-petroleum wax constituent may include one or more combustible materials derived from plant oils, vegetable oils, animal oils, fats, rosin, pitch, waxy materials and combinations thereof. In another form of the invention, the combustible non-petroleum wax constituent may include a formulated blend of individual non-petroleum wax components. In yet another form of the invention a combustible binding agent can be added to the blend of materials resulting in reduction of the portion of the more costly combustible wax component. A firelog according to the invention can provide a number of benefits, including lower cost, better lighting and flaming performance, and more environmentally sustainable in comparison to firelogs using petroleum waxes.

L'invention porte sur une bûche artificielle dont les constituants sont: (a) un matériau cellulosique combustible, et (b) une cire combustible non extraite de pétrole. La répartition pondérale des constituants est: d'environ 30 % à environ 70 % de a) et d'environ 30 % à environ 70 % de b) pour 100 parties de a) et de b). Dans une exécution, le constituant de cire peut inclure un ou des matériaux combustibles tirés d'huiles végétales et animales, de graisses, de résines, de poix, de matériaux cireux ou leur combinaison. Dans une autre exécution, le constituant de cire peut inclure un mélange préparé de composants individuels de cire non extraite de pétrole. Dans une autre exécution un liant combustible peut être ajouté au mélange de matériaux d'où une réduction de la partie des composants de cire combustible les plus coûteux. De telles bûches présentent un certain nombre d'avantages, dont un coût plus bas, de meilleures performances d'allumage et de combustion, et une moindre incidence sur l'environnement qui les bûches à base de cires de pétrole.
