What are the ingredients in Duraflame logs?
Duraflame firelogs are made of a scientific blend of sawdust, wax, and unique fibers. Some interesting materials tested have included recycled fibers such as nut shells, seeds, fruit pits, distillery grains and recycled cardboard. Natural seed is added to some logs to create crackling sounds of a wood fire.
What kind of wood is Duraflame?
dry wood sawdust
Since duraflame® firelogs are made with dry wood sawdust, only a fine soot is left in the chimney. In fact, tests show that a duraflame® firelog has 66% less creosote accumulation per hour of fire than the creosote accumulation from burning a wood fire.
Is it safe to burn paper logs?
Paper burns very quickly and can easily float up the chimney. This is dangerous since flames that enter the chimney can ignite the creosote deposits in the flue. Furthermore, the hot air and pieces of burning paper can rise through the chimney and ignite flammable materials outside the home.
Do paper logs burn well?
Mixed wood and paper logs make for an easy-burning fire; paper logs on their own are somewhat more difficult to keep going. But I have found that paper logs burn very well if care is given to stacking them in the stove.
How do you make a Duraflame fire?
Always start with two logs. Place the two logs on grate or fire pit in an X configuration, with the top log angling up. Place firelogs so the arrows on the seam of the wrapper are pointing down. Light the seam at the arrows of the bottom firelog.
How do you make a fire burn slower?
Build fires using the top-down method to slow down a fire right from the start. Burn wood that is between the recommended 15% and 20% moisture content for firewood rather than really dry wood. Try to use hardwood logs in your fire instead of using softwood logs as they can burn for longer periods of time.
