I tried those new earthlog brand and they ROAR!!! they use some kind of candle wax so they smell great, like a candle, and the fire was way bigger than the Duraflame. I tried the Javalog too, they were hard to get going but were better than the duraflame. check out the earthlogs ...... way better!! Duraflame logs STINK!!

I have tried other brands and they just don't perform as well. Duraflame does burn cleaner than wood. And, they are more environmentally friendly than wood fires. Those that say that warming a house with Duraflame is not efficient are correct. For those that claim that the flame dies down faster than the three hours claimed must have never used the logs. Yes, you have to prod the logs now and then, but you have to do the same with wood fires. So. my verdict for Duraflame is an A+ for the abiance and ease of use. I love the Duraflame logs.

The heat they give off is less than half that of a similarly-sized firewood fire, but adequate for sitting near. It will not heat the whole house but it will warm a good-sized room.A small tree split in half and fell across my driveway this summer, so I chopped it with an axe (excellent exercise) and stacked it on the side of the house. I burned through it in a couple of months, but realized as I did so that the Duraflames I usually use are easier to set up and easier to maintain once burning. As a city-dweller, I recommend them.

Granted it's not as satisfying as a roaring, normal fire, but for an evening sitting in front of the fire with a good book it does very nicely. It doesn't provide the warmth that a conventional fire does, but I don't think it's marketed for that. If you need fire to heat your house, Duraflame would not be a good choice. But for an easy fire that lasts decently long for us city slickers, it does just fine.

Then, it burns for about two hours with a little bitty flame and no heat. Don't believe the "Up to three hours" advertising. These are more for aesthetic purposes. Maybe could get more heat with multiple logs but packaging says to only burn one at a time. The Duraflame logs burn very clean, but you only get a decent fire for about 20 minutes.

Because if your not than it is being cut by a 2 stroke chain saw and that isn't at all GREEN!!!! And you say your house is drafty then your probebly using at least 25% more wood than is needed. All so are cutting up Green living trees and letting them sit for 2 years??? No don't get me wrong I grew up in an area were wood as the only heat source we had so I understand the need and desire for a wood fire. But I also know the proper way to select fire wood for cutting. And when it is done properly welps the forest by removing dead trees that attract bugs and are a fire hazard. Now if you live in an urban area and go to a lot to buy firewood those trees usualy have be removed from some constuction site. Which is the dumbest thing happening around the country. Why would you remove an establised tree just to go back and plant new little trees must be constantly watered and don't alway make it past a couple of years. So I do belive that the dura flame logs are much more green for the urban enviorment. They are made from waste and put to a good use. They also produce less emissions than regular wood.
