Pine Mountain 6-Pack, 3-Hour Firelogs, Easy Lighting - 2 count

*****SELLER REFUNDED THE ENTIRE PURCHASE PRICE. THIS IS MY REVISED REVIEW*****The Seller contacted me and is refunding me the entire purchase price for the two boxes of logs. Apologies for the initial negative review - Yes, two logs out of one box did not light, but as I stated, the Seller was great. I just reordered another set of 2 boxes.The best method I've found for getting uncooperative firelogs to light is to crumple newspaper into vertical "sticks", place them on the floor of the fireplace and light them. You may need to repeat this process using more newspaper, but I've experienced total success using this method.Stats...Box #1Log 1 - FailLog 2 - FailLog 3 - Success (+ newspaper)Log 4 - Success (+ newspaper)Log 5 - Success (+ newspaper)Log 6 - Success (+ newspaper)Box #2 - All Lit Using Newspaper "help"Log 1 - SuccessLog 2 - SuccessLog 3 - SuccessLog 4 - SuccessLog 5 - SuccessLog 6 - Success

We had a new outdoor fireplace built and inaugurated it with a firelog from a local store that lit right away and burned brightly for hours. "GREAT!" I thought, because I liked the fact that it lit easily and burned away with essentially no residue to clean. "I need a case of these!"I looked online and found I could get TWO boxes for substantially less than brands I recognized.We had our second outing, ready to roast marshmallows, etc.I lit the wrapper exactly according to the instructions. The wrapper gradually burned away leaving the log pretty much unharmed.Hmmm. We tried holding the flame directly against the log. For a good long time.Nothing.Finally we BUILT A FIRE UNDER THE LOG and it finally decided to burn along with the other logs.I'm pretty sure if you had a log cabin built of these logs you could consider yourself reasonably safe against fire. I'll cough up the extra cash for the logs that will burn next time we want to make S'mores...

These logs are defective. They are extremely difficult to burn. It seems like the paper around them is made of a fire-retardant material. We bought 4 boxes of 6 logs each (costly). It is quite an ordeal to get a fire going— time consuming and labor intensive. I can’t imagine that we will ever buy this brand of fire logs again. They’re a major disappointment.

Think this is an old product. When it arrived the box was from Walmart. The logs barely light. Have had to use a charcoal starter fluid to get most of them to start burning. My guess these are a few years old or have not been stored properly. I have used this brand logs before and and carried over from year to year, but none have deterriorated this bad

I got just what I ordered. We use them to keep the wood logs burning (so the fire doesn't go out) and they work just fine. Been buying 4-5 boxes almost every year and still happy. Went to big box store and they were almost $8 more per box for the exact same thing.

See by the pics that some people don't know how to light logs. Whether Duraflame, Pine Mountain , whatever brand, sometimes you need to light paper underneath to get them going. That said, I learned to not store in garage where dampness may be an issue. If you can, store inside. After years of Duraflame, I switched as a much better buy for the money and they work the same.

I am currently trying my third log and this is the second that has not stayed lit after the paper around it has burned away. Had to use newspaper to get is going...

It is difficult to get these started -- it would almost be easier to just get a stick of firewood started. To get a log started, a person has to hold a lighter to it for an extended period. In terms of ease of lighting, these are, by far, the worst fire logs I've ever used.
