ABSTRACT:
A combustible article consists of agglomerated wood chips and polyethylene/polypropylene material partially coated with paraffin. The polyethylene/polypropylene material acts as a fuel as well as a binder; the paraffin is provided to facilitate lighting. The composite fire log is produced by combining wood and polyethylene/polypropylene chips or shavings in a mixer; mixing to produce a substantially uniform aggregate and heating to a temperature below the melting point of the polyethylene/polypropylene material; pressing the hot mixture in a press to form a briquette or fire log of predetermined shape; and dipping the bottom of the resulting log in molten paraffin.
