1. A compact log having a longitudinal extent from end-to-end, a core midsection, a lower part and a side surface, wherein the log comprises:
- a plurality of longitudinally extending, end-to-end incisions therethrough, wherein the incisions extend from a bottom surface of the log, intersect in the log'"'"'s core midsection and fail to extend to the log'"'"'s side surface; and
an air duct in the bottom surface of the log that extends from the log'"'"'s side surface to the core midsection of the log and fails to extend to the upper part of the log in order to avoid burning of the side surface of the log, wherein the air duct is configured as a groove, and wherein the air duct is radially offset from the incisions so that the air duct intersects the incisions only at the log'"'"'s core midsection and only adjacent the bottom surface of the log.

Abstract
A fire log has one or several longitudinal incisions, which penetrate the log but do not reach the side surface and intersect in the log'"'"'s midsection. A lower part of the log has at least one air duct from the side surface to the log'"'"'s midsection in case the log is set on a surface which obstructs airflow to the log'"'"'s lower part. The log'"'"'s midsection contains an ignition device, which can be an ignition strip, tablet, briquette or other that has been permeated with an ecologically friendly flammable substance that burns fast and evenly.
