Properties
While it remains in its burning state, it can be used to ignite torches by right clicking on it with a torch in hand, and as such can be used in an emergency or to light up a torch without using a firestarter and wasting hunger.
Smouldering Logs are subjected to gravity, and will fall down if not supported by a block bellow them.
Mining a Smouldering log with an axe, or removing the block bellow and making it fall from too high, will explode the smouldering log and spread fire all around:
