How to Use Duraflame Logs in a Fireplace
- 1). Open the damper on the fireplace. Look for the seam on the wrapper of the Duraflame logs. Gently pull on the seam, which causes it to pull away from the log. Keep the wrapper on the logs, but separate it from the log.
- 2). Set one log in the fireplace, with the wrapper seam facing the firebox opening. The arrows on the wrapper should also be facing down. Set the second log on top, at an angle, so that the two logs form an "X." The log on top should be pointing towards the closed side of the firebox.
- 3). Light the Duraflame logs by placing the tip of your lighter at the arrows on the bottom log and flicking the lighter. The flame should move along the flames and the seam of the wrapper.
- 4). Place the metal fireplace screen in front of the fireplace. This blocks the ash and soot from floating out of the fireplace, but gives the fire oxygen to burn. For fireplaces with glass doors, keep the doors open until the fire goes out.
- 5). Wait two hours to add a third log to the fireplace. The flames from the original logs should be out before you add another log. If you wish to prolong the fire, add one new log to the fire every hour.
