   I use the same ones as David to light my fires, but I only use 1/4 of a "brick".  If anyone knows what the brand name is of the "all sawdust" logs, let us know.  I personally won't try them at home since I burn 4 cord of real logs every winter, but it might be worthwhile to stash a few of these in the pod.

	We used to use the logs in our home fireplace but have never tired them outside. I too would like to hear more about using these.

	I use these for fire starters. They are wax and sawdust "bricks". Usually 1/2 "brick" is enough to get things going.

	I use the smallest ones they make as fire starters but thats it. Have toyed with the notion of saving leftover candles and old dried coffee grounds to make my own though. But that seems like more trouble than it's worth.

	I haven't tried any yet. Just looking to see if maybe some of you have and what your thoughts on them are.

	What brand are you using? The logs that I tried had a waxy feel and smell to them. I would give em a try if they are all natural.

	I am wondering if anyone has tried or is using the "artificial" fire logs. I watched an episode of "How it's Made", on the Science Channel and they showed a company making logs only from compressing sawdust - no other ingredients. They said one could even use these for cooking. In what little research I have done there seems to be others that are made of sawdust/petrolium or sawdust/vegetable oils. There also seem to be some that are made of coffee grounds! While more $$$ per log than conventional wood, they are supposed to burn longer with less polution. Plus it's a use of an otherwise waste product.
