Recently, I mentioned that I got rid of our gas logs and replaced them with a fireplace grate, and some fireplace tools.  (Thank goodness I did this, because our gas bill last month was $250 without the gas guzzling gas logs).  In fact, part of Mr. Serious’ anniversary gift was a box of Duraflame logs (which I paid for).

A couple weeks ago, we had a snow day (who would have thought in Atlanta…but it happened) and I was so thankful for my new Duraflame Stax.  About 3 stax logs are equivalent to 25-30 pounds of real firewood (5-6 pieces) and burn for about 3-3.5 hours.

It was so easy to get a fire started with two little ones home with me.  All I had to do was take out two logs, place them in an ‘X’ shape and light the ends of both of them.  About two minutes later, we had a roaring fire that was actually hot and nice to look at.  I didn’t have to collect any kindling or paper to get it started, either.  After about 2 hours, I added the third log to keep the fire going.DSC_4936  (That’s the fire I built right there!)img-firewise-large

They burn much cleaner than wood with a lot less ashes to clean up.  And, they are made from 100% renewable resources.  That sold me alone.  We later had a fire with real wood.  It was really hard to keep going and the ashes were out of control.

Here’s a quick video showing how easy it is to start and enjoy a fire with Durflame Stax.

  1. Wow, I couldn't even guess how many fires we have in a year. We have a wood burning stove, and unless it's a "Red Burn Day", we have a fire every day in the winter. So maybe like 130…? 🙂

  11. I have about one fire a week – I use those Java Logs now but they don't last as long. I think I'd like to give that product a try :-).

  12. We have a fireplace and rarely use it…just because I don't like the clean up. Love the smell of them though. It would be nice to use it again!

  13. OK. Do you mean just fires in the fireplace or should I count the ones in the oven too? Because I have a lot of those:)
    We go in spurts with the fireplace.
    Maybe 15?

    I try to have a nice fire going at least 1-2 times a month. I hated lugging in the dirty, heavy wood, so this is a great alternative!

  23. The minute the temps at night hit 55 we light a fire in the fireplace. So about every night when it is cooler so about 60 or more.

  32. We don't light our fireplace very often, but we do use our outdoor fire pit quite a bit – maybe once a week throughout the spring and fall.

  42. We often have a fire every night in our fireplace as we love how it makes the house feel by having a fire in the fireplace.

    This would be great to try! Thanks!
