fire log

Manufactured burning block

A fire log is a manufactured log designed to burn in a fireplace, typically made from compressed sawdust, wax, and other combustible materials.

Fire logs ignite easily, burn cleanly, and require less tending than natural firewood: We threw a fire log on and watched the flames.

Also called firelog.
