So it’s been pretty much FRIDGID here in Denver, and as first time home-owners, The Hus and I have not yet ceased to experience extreme joy everytime we use our fireplace, beyond the utilitarian fact that it really does warm up the house.
To add to our fireplace euphoria, are Duraflame logs. Denver has strict pollution laws, so fire burning has to go in accordance to the pollution level of the day, and also, we’re not big on chopping wood, so the Duraflame log is like the a modern urban home-owner’s guilt free little secret.
Yes, it’s kind of like cheating not using real wood, but the Duraflame lights in like 5 seconds, and it burns for HOURS!!! No kindling to worry about, no crunching up newspaper, no cussing at the fireplace as soot flies into your living room.
PLUS who knew they were better for the environment than real wood???? According to the product page: a 6lb standard fire log burns cleaner than wood, is made from 100% renewable resources, and burns for 3.5 hours.
You can read more here about how these logs are good for the environment. The Duraflame site is actually kind of cool….they even have screen savers!
Bottom line: go get you some fake logs kids, and light a fire. I’m obsessed! (and if you REALLY want to cheat, they even have “cracking logs”…hilarious)
Kermit will be so happy.
Love,
Tracey
