Question

I live in Winter Park Florida and just bought one of those cardboard fireplaces, I can't seem to find fake fire logs. I tried all of the local department stores, ie: Kmart, Walmart, and Target, with no luck. I did look on Ebay, but the shipping is more than the fake logs. Does anyone know where I can find them?

This fake fire place already comes with a cardboard fire.

I have checked with home depot and lowes and they don't have any, any more suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Just buy a small bundle of the firewood from Publix. Oh wait, I just realized you probably want the ones that light up or appear lit.

Check a Michael's craft store, Lowe's or Home Depot. They get a ton of Christmas Decor for the Holidays. In Tampa we have a year round Christmas warehouse. Check your phone book you should have one over there also.

Good Luck.

Your doing this for just LOOKS, right? I wonder if you could use (from Michael's Craft store) the colored clear wraps. If you could get it in a brown like color and put a twenty five light string of twinkling Christmas lights in and around the crumpled paper to create the look of fire. (maybe the paper should be red and yellow. I would just crumple them up with the lights behind them.

Answer 2

You might want to check home depot or lowes. They carry special items for fireplaces and usually can get it special ordered. hope this helps.

Answer 3

Just use a box of crayons and color in your own logs. The realism should be about the same.

Answer 4

Answer 5
