After months and months spent testing and researching, he created Fire Logs.\u00a0The &#8220;logs&#8221; are handmade rectangular stainless steel baskets able to withstand temperatures up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit &#8211; and designed to burn wood pellets.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nBecause wood pellets are made of compressed kiln-dried wood fibers, they&#8217;re allowed to be transported and burned wherever you&#8217;re headed. Regular firewood can&#8217;t be moved far from the origin due to the risk of spreading insect infestation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Tree-killing insects and diseases can lurk in or on firewood. These insects and diseases can\u2019t move far on their own, but when people move firewood they can jump hundreds of miles. New infestations destroy our forests, property values, and cost huge sums of money to control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>-DontMoveFirewood.org<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The logs can be used in an open campfire, placed inside a chimenea or within a fire-pit. Grady says he&#8217;s even used them in his wood stove! We thought this idea was great &#8211; so we decided to try a set out!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kxUzlQWQpYQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructions for Use<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Unpack your Fire Logs by pulling each log out of the others. Remove the stands and set aside.<\/li>\n<li>Fill each Fire Log with wood pellets. An insignificant amount of small \u201ccrumbs\u201d may\u00a0fall through the openings in the wires.<\/li>\n<li>Select the spot for your campfire and clear the area of any debris that may catch fire (it is a good idea to select a flat surface of sand or stone).<\/li>\n<li>Set the Fire Logs on the stands that are a part of your Repose Fire Log Package, in a pattern that will allow for air flow around the Logs.<\/li>\n<li>Use a fire starter or twisted clump of newspapers\u00a0placed under the Logs to start the fire. Light when ready (a fireplace lighter is recommended to keep your hands away from open flame).<br \/>\n<em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0&gt;&gt;<a title=\"fire\" href=\"https:\/\/woodpellets.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/08\/how-to-make-fire-starters-from-wood-pellet-fiber\/\"> See Video: How to Make Fire Starters from Wood Pellet Fibers<\/a>\u00a0&lt;&lt;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Allow the fire to blaze \u2013 it will light the pellets in the Logs and they will begin to burn.<\/li>\n<li>Use the Fire Wand (included in Deluxe Package or purchased separately) to move the Logs if necessary. You can burn just one or two at a time, adding the reserved Log when the fire burns down. The\u00a0Wand can be used to remove a burned Log from the fire, setting it aside to cool, refilling it again and adding it back onto the fire to prolong the burning time.<\/li>\n<li>Allow the fire to burn down naturally and for the Fire Logs to cool. Traditional campfires produce large coals that can take quite a while to cool down, even up to 24 hours. Pellets in the Fire Logs burn completely, leaving little ash and no coals to pose unattended fire hazards. They cool very quickly.\u00a0You can then shake the remaining ash from the Logs and use them again or stack them for storage. Your Fire Logs will take on a colorful\u00a0\u201cpatina\u201d after being used. This is not harmful to the Logs. However, they can be cleaned with soap and water to remove \u201csoot\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Tips for Use<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fire Logs burn hot enough, and\u00a0long enough to cook your favorite\u00a0campfire foods. Whether on a stick or\u00a0raised grill over the logs.\u00a0Grills can be used to cook or hold the\u00a0logs themselves.<\/li>\n<li>Fire Logs are hand crafted of\u00a0stainless steel. Be careful of any wire\u00a0ends that may be sharp.<\/li>\n<li>Keep wood pellets very dry as moisture\u00a0will make them swell and burn\u00a0inefficiently or not at all.<\/li>\n<li>Be certain that you check your local\u00a0laws for requirements on fire burning\u00a0permits and heed warnings about \u201cno\u00a0burn\u201d periods where fire burning is\u00a0not recommended. Also be sure that\u00a0children and pets keep a safe distance\u00a0from the fire when it\u2019s in use. Always\u00a0have a fire extinguisher or water\u00a0source available and never leave your fire unattended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was early 2008 when Brian Grady, a professional sawyer from Maine, came up with the idea for reusable firewood.
