Duraflame Stax Review + Giveaway!


Giveaway is closed!




Congrats to #130 Shelly!









When it's cold outside I love to be inside by a nice cozy fire! This year we have had a fire nearly every night to try to save money on our heat bill! Paul and I have always been a fan of Duraflame! The logs they have work so well and are easy to light!






Duraflame is America's leader in firelogs! They have been around for over 40 years! They have fire logs,  fire starters, and barbeque products that you can purchase at a variety of stores!

You can purchase Duraflame products at: Walmart, Target, 7 Eleven, Home Depot, and many other places. Click above to find a store where you can purchase these products from.

Duraflame Stax burns cleaner and uses less resources than a wood fire does! The Duraflame Stax are made from recycled wood fiber and agricultral biomass combined with renewable, non- petroleum bio-waxes and plant oils. The Duraflame Stax comes with 3 logs. You burn 2 logs together at the first. After those logs burn for awhile you put the third log on. It is very simple to do. It only takes around 5 minutes to start full flames after lighting the logs. The great thing about Duraflame Stax is you can use it in a fireplace, woodstove, or an open fire outside.


Reasons why I love Duraflame Stax

-Produce significantly fewer pollutants
-Easy to light- full flames in less than 5 minutes
-Fewer logs needed than wood for a similiar duration fire
-Clean to handle and easy to store
-3 Stax logs (10.8 lbs) = 25-30 lbs of firewood
-Great for fireplace, wood stoves, outdoors


My opinon on Duraflame Stax

I have never seen a fire be so easy to light and light up so fast! It does take awhile before the logs become flames, but it is within the 5 minutes which is great timing! The fire we lit with the Duraflame Stax produced alot of heat. The fire had no smell. The thing I loved alot is the fire didn't crackle or pop. I wasn't worried about ashes or anything else coming out of the fire. We use a screen thing that covers the fire so it produces more heat instead of having our fireplace door shut. With regular wood we have little flames come flying through the screen so I am really impressed with Duraflame!

This is a product I highly recommend!
