What about manufactured logs designed for fireplaces, like Duraflame or Javalogs – can I use them during a burn ban?
No. During a burn ban these logs are subject to the same restrictions as wood. When a burn ban is not in effect, however, manufactured logs are a wonderful alternative to cord wood for fireplace fires. They produce approximately 70 percent less pollution than cord wood. Should you opt for manufactured logs please note that many varieties are not suitable for wood stoves and fireplace inserts – check the guidelines on the wrapper to ensure compatibility with your device.
