    Yeah but look at the tow rope you get with it.

    Maybe it's a short fire escape ladder for the second floor?

    My favorite review so far is the guy who gave it one star:

    Burns fast
    This too expensive. It would cost abut $5,946 to last the winter. Not worth it.

    My father in law has white birch logs on his hearth. He acts like the logs are pure gold! As if they are the last on earth. I can see him buying these. :rofl: :lol:

    Long time ago when my SIL was dating her current husband, he burned the "hearth logs." You would of thought the house burned down.

    We dont have white birch around here. I would love to get about a cord and everytime he come over, stuff the stove full with it. Just to see his reaction.

    I’m a little disappointed Crate & Barrel doesn’t call this product a “Cord of Firewood”

    makes me wonder if one couldn't open up a firewood store in some snooty section of a large city.
    All the pretty wood available for an arm or leg.

    I have several white birch logs that I keep around the stove. I put some in the stove during the summer just to get rid of the black hole of the stove window.

    I didn't buy them, though. I got them at a gtg at Well Seasoned's, a few years back..

    This could work! I could picture the salesperson asking for what type of fire they’re interested in…a passionate night on the floor in front of the fire…a Norman Rockwell family Christmas… “These logs were raised organically and harvested humanely in Rutland, Vermont…” and the sales guys dress like this:

    Here’s one that still thinks that they’re fake:

    Nice looking faux logs
    I bought 2 sets of these to go in my fireplace since we don’t use it. They look great and give my family room a cozy feel! I’ve gotten so many compliments from the neighbors that they have purchased some for their homes!

    Here it is again. Because it never gets old.
