Abstract
A composition useful as a synthetic fuel for fireplaces and the like. The composition contains particulate coal as the major component in combination with slack wax, sodium and/or potassium silicate and an oxidizing agent. Minor amounts of coloring agents or agents for providing desired aromas or the like are optionally included in the composition. The composition is conveniently provided in the form of a log which can be used as a synthetic fuel. The composition burns slowly and evenly without excessive smoking while substantially retaining its original shape thereby facilitating removal of the resultant ashes.
