Holiday Season Fireplace Warmth without Hassle or Compromise

All-Wood Firelogs for Good Tidings Indoors and Out

LOS GATOS, Calif.-Dec. 2, 2004-It's that time of year again. What better way to enjoy the season than to relax by a cozy, inviting wood fire after a long day of shopping, planning and preparing festive holidays treats.

Known as the all-natural, safer alternative to wax-based products and regular firewood, goodwood® firelogs offer consumers a simple, clean way to enjoy a real wood fire without the worry and mess.

Enjoy a fire without the hassle.

Preparing a fire with traditional firewood can be labor-intensive: you have to haul and stack logs, set up the right amount of kindling and newspaper-or use pre-fab firestarters-plus you have to constantly prod and poke your fire to make sure it doesn't smolder or produce too much smoke. Then, you wake up in the morning and see that your fireplace is a black, sooty mess, with piles of ash and remnants of newspaper. You sneeze and cough while cleaning it out, possibly transferring the debris to your carpet. With goodwood firelogs, you simply place the burlap bag in the fireplace and light it. Afterwards, all that's left is a fraction of the residue, making clean up easier-after all, you have better things to do than worry about the mess in your fireplace.

Improve your indoor and outdoor air quality.

goodwood firelogs help you take control of the air you breathe. Studies have shown that these densified all-wood firelogs emit 25-50% less soot, carbon monoxide, and acid-rain pollutants than regular firewood. The manufactured firelogs you find at the supermarket can contain up to 60% petroleum wax and by-products such as used coffee grounds, cardboard or other materials that aren't even listed. goodwood firelogs are all wood, compressed to burn hotter and cleaner, resulting in fewer emissions and less ash than firewood. Yet they contain no petroleum or any other chemical fuels - you know exactly what you're burning.

Accept no imitations.

Nothing compares to a real wood fire. For those who are particular about ambiance and natural elegance in their home, wax logs look unacceptably artificial. Plus, you can't add more logs to them, poke them or use them in woodstoves. In contrast, goodwood all-wood firelogs provide the same warmth and scent of a real wood fire and have none of the restrictions of wax logs. "Nothing creates holiday ambiance like a beautiful wood fire," said Jennifer Young, co-founder of Summit Views. "goodwood firelogs make it possible to enjoy the experience of real wood this holiday season without sacrificing environmental quality or convenience."

This season, let goodwood firelogs put the heart back in your hearth.
