Cape Cod Fire Logs are easy to light, burn longer and hotter without throwing sparks and with near-smokeless flames, produce no odor, do not melt or drip, and leave very little ash residue. Cape Cod Fire Logs can be burned anywhere you burn cordwood—indoors in fireplaces and woodburning stoves, or outdoors in fire pits, chimineas, and campfires. You can even cook over them—there’s no smoke or noxious fumes.
