I have not had any luck selling them, 2 for £15. But everyone of my mates who have seen them have loved them. I now have to bring them with me to all parties which is probably why i dont sell many!

I used to sell these years back - got them from a garden stuff wholesaler - and they came from Latvia I think. They were made from standing dead softwood according to the bumph on the labelling - no bark. They each had a small chunk of firelighter (the Coghlans firestick type - not bog standard parrafin/wax jobs) inside the log - kept in place with a little round cardboard label stapled to the open end. Nice little product - RRP was around £3 - £4 as I recall. Didn't move a lot to be honest and ended up selling them off at £2.50 each - though quite a few people who had them at that money have asked for them again - but the company no longer deal with them, and have no record of where they came from apparently!

we do a few every few months and keep them in the poly tunnel, to get them bone dry, so easier to light and catch, plus lighter to move, once bone dry easy to light with either a burning ember or a firelighter, the really big ones, we strap up at the top to stop them banana peeling apart, only ever used softwood , and then only the notty horrible stuff we'd reject through the stack for being too short for the decks (12') so we do large 8' and small 12" ones and everything in between, any wood will do as long as its dry and kept dry

I was happy with how well the response was to them.I would love to sell at a local garden centre however must say I don't have any idea how to approach larger customer areas like that.If wasn't for the Swedish candles I'd have had bit of poor month cashflow wise

No tree work,and everyone around my area seems to clicky to want me to work for them.Been a summer of chimnea fire logs Swedish candles and alot of carved furniture lol.

I seem to remember this was bacon and ash. We squash a normal fire lighter into the top.

These guys have been selling for a year or so. Good trade from the local campsites but not much else... Fire Dragon logs - vertical campfire logs and torches
