The lack of absorption of liquids into wood is a common topic at woodworking.se, where it normal relates to oils and other finishes. Holes will also increase the longevity of the colour. You could bore out (almost) the entire log, and pack it with soaked and dried wood chips/sawdust, plugging the end with a bit more wood.

Jul 4, 2018 at 15:07 comment added fred_dot_u Do you consider it acceptable to bore large diameter holes into the log to increase the absorption area and to improve the longevity of the burning chemicals? Drilling from both ends would not have much cosmetic impact as drilling into the sides.
