  1. Place the fire log upright on a flat surface. It’s important to keep the torch away from flammable materials. <\/li>\n
  2. The bottom hole containing the fuse must be at the bottom.<\/li>\n
  3. Light the fire log from the fuse and wait about 10 minutes for the torch to catch fire. The flame height is approximately 20 cm. <\/li>\n
  4. If the fire log goes out for any reason (e.g., strong wind), drop a lit match down the chimney from the top, and it should reignite on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What is a Swedish torch?<\/h2>\n

    A log candle, fire log, or Swedish torch (known in English as a Swedish torch<\/em> or Canadian candle<\/em>) is a practical and impressive way to make a fire. It’s a single piece of wood with cuts or drilled holes to burn in a controlled and stable way. It’s filled with a flammable substance and includes a convenient fuse. The mosquito-repellent version also contains lemongrass extract. It works as both a light and heat source, perfect for outdoor use \u2013 like hiking, at a summer cottage, or a garden party. The slotted version can also be used for cooking by placing a pan on top. <\/p>\n

    Historical background<\/h2>\n

    The idea of the log candle dates back to the 17th century and is linked to the Swedish army, where it was used as a simple and efficient fire source on the battlefield. Since small firewood was scarce in many places, a way was developed for a single log to function instead of a campfire. <\/p>\n

    How do fire logs work?<\/h2>\n

    The log candle burns using the chimney effect. The flame and hot air move upward inside the log, while fresh air enters from the bottom \u2013 ensuring continuous combustion. <\/p>\n

    There are two main types of log candles:<\/p>\n
