can anyone tell me how many logs are in the DF12310 model and size of logs are they really tiny logs or realistic

No they aren't tiny logs. The thing that I noticed was not the size of the logs, but the way they make them look more realistic is by using a mirror behind the logs which creates a 3D effect.I While it does look more realistic, It detracts from the realism to see a that there is a mirror behind the logs. I resolved this by putting up black mesh curtains in front of the unit. I also know that Dimplex makes a front piece (not cheap) that would look even better. Check it out. Even having stated some problems, I appreciate having the visual of burning logs.

At least six logs. I'm not home to provide size, but realistic. Very happy with unit. I have purchased a Dimple previously and that unit lasted 10 years.I thinks you will be happy with this purchase.....Super easy set up !

The logs are super realistic. It is amazing how real it looks. I am more than 100% happy with my purchase.When I bought it I hoped it was nice but it is MUCH nicer than I could imagine.

They come in at leasttwo sizes. The small one (the subject of the review) takes about eight inch logs (split is best). The larger model takes 12 inch or so. We used both a week ago and enjoyed them.

My daughter-in- law recommended this for her youngest daughter who is 5 for a Christmas present. I bought it on a sale. She already builds stuff with logs &thought; this would be ideal. So, don't know if this is helpful, but we'll know more on Christmas. :-)

It holds slightly less than a large sized wheel barrow. 13-17 logs, I would say.

It holds 2 each 9 inch round 21" in length and can add some filler wood around the edges and top. Piece size depends on the amount of coals, It burns at low setting for 10 - 12 hours for larger log night loads. Makes for a restful night without having to restoke the fire.

I have a 450 rancher Husquvarna with the 20 inch bar. As one of the guys before me said, the size of the log your cutting will require a bigger, more powerful chainsaw. On standard I have 12-14 inch Douglas Fir and Alder logs I cut and the 450 does fine. I have not put on my ripping chain yet to see how this eases the time or load on the chainsaw. If your going to be milling large amounts of wood, then I would get a high quality chainsaw. I would pay attention to the sustained work load a chainsaw could handle and smaller ones with small engines may blow apart, such as my homelite 14 inch did. Hope this helps.

I bought this machine about 6 weeks ago; it runs on 110. This is a great machine - my wife has used it more than I have. It has split dry logs up to about 20" in diameter with no problem - highly recommend it.

it is 34 ton. I know because I bought the same model from Amazon in September. if I were you, I would spend $100 more and get the electric start... it was $300 more back in September Swisher LSEB125341350 34-Ton Log Splitter with Electric Start (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I've split logs up to 18" in diameter, though it does put a burden on the machine. I look for cracks where the log is already starting to split and aim the wedge there. I also don't do for splitting a large log in half; instead I try to cut a small piece off first and then work from there. Often, with wood like oak, I have to finish the job by inserting an axe and hitting it with a sledge hammer, as oak tends to tear a lot. It's still less work than splitting without the machine!

I don't know of any . I have this model and I done just.12 or so at a time. It works well but most of the small ones seem to be more expensive . And this one works well . I've had mine for several years and have great success !

Hi David, it has been a while and I have a few still kicking around the house. Not sure how many there were. I do know they were approx 2 inches long with a 2 inch tail. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Randi

I have a gas fireplace with no logs so I am unfamiliar with that kind so I don't know how deep your is . I had to buy two bags of ten pounds each , at about 3 in. deep and my bowel is about 18 x 18 . I do love the effect it has on the fire and love to sit by it just look at the glass sparkle . It is a bit expensive but I do like it . Hope this helps .

It's steady, just very small. The logs you use will have to be very small. I buy pre-split wood then have to cut each log in half in order to put them in the Chimnea. It does work well for small spaces. After use make sure you keep it out of the rain; anything made of cast iron will rust very quickly.

The biggest I've split was about 20". You can really split any size, you just may have to rotate and resplit if it is a large log.

Hi, Kevin - From my personal experience, once the battery dies, the data appears to go into "static" mode, meaning it's retained on the logger until it's outfitted with a new battery and/or the data is downloaded off of it. Please note, though, I have only had this happen with one of my loggers...As Lydia said, the batteries last a *long* time!

If you want the real specs, the company should give them to you. However, in my experience, I am happy with the machine. My house is on an approximate 75 by 100 foot lot. I bought four large size batteries and three chargers. With these, I can run at least four hours and maybe indefinitely longer, if I keep recharging them as I mow with another. They recharge quickly. I have had the machine for a year now. I mowed all last summer and fall. I started it again this spring and mowed some already. The machine seems quiet to me. Less noisy than my gasoline or electric cord mowers. It mulches grass and maple/oak leaves well. If you want the real specs, the company should give them to you.

In regarding your question of a fake fire log if you meant the type you purchase at the grocery the answer is yes they will fit. I would not get the largest one because it might be too big(4 hrs burn time) but the smaller ones fit fine.
