An artificial firelog according to the present invention may comprise as constituents a combustible cellulosic or fiber material, a non-absorbent combustible oil- and/or fat- retaining material, and a combustible binder/fuel or wax in appropriate proportions. A combustible binding agent may be also be added as an additional constituent material to allow a further reduction of the combustible wax component. Certain naturally occurring agricultural by products and synthetic filter materials contain oils and/or fats that provide increased BTU value beyond the cellulosic or mineral components of the material. When these oil- and/or fat- retaining materials added to a blend of firelog material, the non-absorbent properties and additional BTU content of these alternative raw materials allow the amount of higher BTU wax material to be reduced without a dramatic reduction in fuel content in the finished mixture. The non-absorbent oil- and/or fat-retaining materials are significantly less expensive per mass than petroleum wax, and substituting these materials for more costly types of wax reduces cost without degrading the performance of the final firelog product.

L'invention porte sur une bûche artificielle pouvant comprendre comme constituants un matériau combustible cellulosique ou fibreux, de l'huile ou de la graisse combustible non absorbante, et un liant/combustible ou une cire dans des proportions appropriées. Un liant combustible peut être également ajouté en tant que matériau constitutif supplémentaire pour permettre une nouvelle réduction du composant de cire combustible. Certains sous-produits naturels de l'agriculture et certaines fibres de synthèse contiennent de l'huile et/ou des graisses dont le pouvoir calorifique s'ajoute à celui des composants cellulosiques ou minéraux du matériau. Quand ces matériaux retenant l'huile et/ou la graisse sont ajoutés au mélange des constituants de la bûche, leurs propriétés non absorbantes et leur pouvoir calorifique supplémentaire permet de réduire la quantité de matériaux cireux à pouvoir calorifique plus élevé sans quasiment réduire le contenu en combustible du mélange fini. Les matériaux non absorbants retenant les huiles et les graisses sont significativement moins chers par masse que la cire de pétrole, et en se substituant à des types de cires plus chères, ils réduisent les coûts sans dégrader les performances du produit final.
