Can these be used in a natural log burning fireplace, and if so, what do they need to be set in to burn?

You would need to convert the log fireplace into a gas fireplace to use this product.

I don't think so. The contamination of the ash to the glass would not be practiabel. We used it with a gas fire pit.

Sorry, I don't know if they can be used in a log burning fireplace, but I would guess they can since they are made for gas fireplaces. I'd suspect they should be places somewhere where they won't fall into the bottom of your fireplace. They are quite sturdy and since they were designed originally for gas fireplaces, I'm suspect they will work with a natural fireplace with a little trial and error. If I were going to use them that way, I'd sprinkle them on whatever material I have under the fire and logs in my fireplace. Hope this helps.

When we trim the trees in our backyard we cut the 2 inch in diameter plus one in 2 10 inch strips and use them in the pit. I would think any kind of wood would work, we even occasionally use the pre purchase log that are made for the fireplace.

It is unsafe to burn wood indoors without an adequate chimney to vent the smoke. I wouldn't do it myself.

yup you burn it in the stove. Suppost to use every time you put wood in but about a teaspoon a day should work, if its an outside boiler- use about 2 teaspoons a day. should work well.

They are anodized aluminium, not Teflon so use over an open fire would not cause ill effects. But they are sized for two people, and very light so keep them off the coals.

If you can use wood logs I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use charcoal. The grate openings for the ashes are small enough that the briquettes wouldn't fall through. So should work. Probably easier to cook pizza with.

I believe you can. The only problem, I thought the logs and flames looked bad. I have 2 of the other Franklin looking stoves with much better looking logs, flames, and color. I love the look of the frame, but I am real big on the fire looking as realistic as possible too.

We have only used ours in an outdoor firepit, but I don't see why you couldn't use in in your open fireplace. Its doesn't create smoke or an odor.

I have only used them for hardwood fires, but may I say that the squares are easily lit and stay lit for 10 minutes or longer, and as long as some air is provided I believe they would light just about any burnable substance. I do however use two adjoining squares instead of one and have never had a problem with them lighting even the largest of logs. I hope this has helped.

I suppose you could, but I would use a metal tool and save the gloves for handling a hot metal tool. You could burn a hole into them handling a burning log directly. You might get away with a quick flick, but they act more as as shield. I cook very hot when I cook sometimes and they are comfortable to wear even when its hot outside.

We put wood in ours. It is deeper than you think. You can't put giant logs, but an average fireplace log does fit into it. You can also use charcoal. We love our pit.

They do the heating. I think you could use them with charcoal, but they aren't designed that way. You can't soak them or they turn into dust. For coal or gas i would buy lump wood.

I used a duraflame starter log, then made a structure of real wood around it, and the starter log did it's job and got my fire going. If you are using this outside you don't have to worry about the fumes or buildup that certain woods will generate, either; so you could use pine or just about any other wood to burn in this.

i REALLY DONT KNOW but dont think so, because it uses so little wood. you put in a piece or two less than the size of a fist. i am sure that they will burn up or go out long before anything would get smoked.

I use it in my outdoor fire pit which is fueled by gas. I don't see how you can use this with a wood burning fireplace.

Do not think so this product is not rated for the amount of heat a wood stove puts off and not for the length of time you would burn a wood stove . usually the surround that a gas fireplace is enclosed in is only a thin steel shielding would not work at all to enclose a wood burning stove . A real brick original fireplace that was once used for wood fires would work but still the wood stove needs clearance on the sides and back .

these have to be plugged into an outlet...they do have a pretty long cord though. I purchased three sets & love them. Mixed them in with dried flowers & bamboo & they look great. I use them every night & they still burning strong after about 1 1/2 years. If you plan to use them only rarely, then you could go with battery operated ones.
