Our new house has a fireplace, and honestly my husband and I don’t know the first thing about it. I know we need to have it checked out annually and that it has gas coming to it, but that’s it. Now since we were unsure what kind of wood to use and we wanted it to be safe for our kids, I was thrilled when I heard about a new product from Duraflame called Stax Logs.
Stax logs take just minutes to build without the mess or splinters. You need just two Stax logs to start with and they last for about two hours before you may need to add more.
Stax Features:
• Designed for fireplaces, woodstoves and outdoor firepits
• Stackable logs won’t break apart easily while burning
• Natural crackling sounds of wood fire
• Split wood shape and burn with charred appearance
• More heat output than firelogs
• Made from 100% Renewable Resources
• 50% less pollutants than a wood fire
• A 3-log pack is the equivalent to 25-30 lbs. of seasoned firewood.
Since the Duraflame Stax logs provide a true, clean-burning fire I feel comfortable using them around my kids. When we lit them, my son’s were amazed. They had never seen a real fire before and they had no clue what the fireplace was for. We ended up only having the one fire so far but it was definitely nice. I am sure real outdoorsy people would prefer actual wood logs, but the Duraflame makes it a safe and easy way for clueless people like me to work a fireplace! It is also nice if you are in a hurry or looking for a better substitute for wood.
I would definitely recommend Duraflame to anyone and other than the new Stax, they also offer other great products that are all safe and cleaner than wood. The original Duraflame Xtra Firelogs are actually America’s number 1 selling firelog. Now I know Duraflame is probably a little more expensive than firewood, especially if you have a wood stockpile from cutting down trees, but I would recommended at least checking them out and then making your decision.
Here is also a great instructional video from Duraflame:

We don’t have a fireplace, but my I sure would like to win this to send to my sister-in-law who shares her home with my 90 year old mother-in-law. They live in the south, but have had some very cold days there this winter, and would really enjoy this to take off the chill!
amy says
We’ve never used it, we just moved to this state. We had one in our first apartment and never used that one either. It can save money on the electricity bills – I just don’t like the headaches it triggers. I do think its romantic though!

We have a fire about once a month but would love to more often. We dont do it more often because we don’t have anywhere to store wood and buying it by the fire is too costly.

I wish we could use our fireplace more often! With two little kids running around, having a fire isn’t so relaxing. But when we do I love curling up with a book and a cup of tea to watch the flames.

I don’t have a fireplace but my parents do, my great-great uncle use to make Big Jim’s which are wood burning stoves that are very popular in NC. They use theirs all the time so this would be great for them.

Haha…I never use my fireplace, nor will I ever. I have my TV in front of it. However, my daughter who is pregnant with her 6th child uses her fireplace and can’t afford these logs, so I would be giving them to her.
