With the recent cold weather and cost of heating oil, interest in the all natural Coast of Maine Cedar Logs has ignited! We are happy to be selling these all natural logs right here at Skillin's! I have been using the Cedar Logs in combination with some wood that I purchased here at Skillin's and I love them!

Coast of Maine Cedar Logs are made entirely of aromatic cedar sawdust and shavings, compressed and extruded into a 12” long, 2 1/2 “ in diameter segment. They are sold in a heavy duty plastic bag with a convenient handle and come ten logs to a bag.

Cedar Logs are easy to start, burn efficiently and won’t spit or spark. They are the all-natural alternative to pre-packaged manufactured logs made with petroleum waxes thus can be used in fireplaces, woodstoves, chimineas, firepits and campfires. The Northern White Cedar used in their manufacture is harvested in the great north woods of Maine and New Brunswick. All you need is a little kindling or paper to get them started. Make sure to store in a dry place.

Safety: Our Cedar Logs are dehydrated to a moisture content of less than 5% so as to burn hot and efficiently. As a result, never burn more than three logs at a time in a woodstove or enclosed firebox.
Open your fireplace damper before starting a fire, close only when ashes are cool.
Make sure your stove, fireplace, etc. is well maintained.
Carefully control the flow of air and amount of fuel to any enclosed fire to prevent overheating.
Never start a fire using flammable liquids.
Never leave a fire unattended.
With woodstoves and chimineas, carefully follow the manufacturers’ instructions. Fire-logs, fire-bricks, coal and kiln dried wood cannot be used in some woodstove models. To prevent overheating, never use more than three cedar logs at a time.

Are these cedar logs good to use in a fire pit? I have a pretty good sized southwestern fire pit with a spark grate.

These cedar logs would do well in a fire pit I am sure. You probably don't want to burn more than one or two at a time since the cedar logs do throw a tremendous amount of heat.

We have sold a great deal of these this winter and much of the sales are customers buying them AGAIN as we are all realizing how great a product this is!
