About Essay Group

Essay Group opened the Eco Forest in 2004. Kiln dried split white birch, packed by hand in fishnet bags, first caught the attention of a small group of metro NY retailers. The popularity of this beautiful wood spread to various chains and across the country, now coast to coast. New products have been and continue to be added to the mix, reflecting the company’s philosophy, a commitment to offer “only the highest quality products, both innovative and natural, for the fireplace and the patio.” Today, Eco Forest is a line of firewood products sold nationwide.
The company has offered the finest firewood and kindling on the market, while at the same time, has introduced new and delightful products annually, such as the Yule Log and the Light N’ Go Bonfire Log. These items are enjoyed year round as people are finding affordable fun on their patios and in their living rooms by making a fire. Eco Forest is proud to have developed and distributed products which have contributed to the enjoyment and coziness which come from a great cookout, campfire, or fireplace.
       Thanks to this wonderful company of www.essay-group.com
    I was able to review both products & host a sponsored free #USA #Giveaway for ONE (1) Lucky Person age 18 yrs or older. To enjoy both products!
      So read about these great products below and then get your entry in for the chance to win them :) The perfect winter & holiday items to gift out or cozy up with and stay warm. 
      First let's start with the Essay Group product called
Light ‘n Go ~ eco-forest-firestarters 

Description:
Lights like a match, burns like a firestarter
All-in-One Match and Firestarter. The solution to lighting a fire indoors or out. Break off one piece, strike the box like a match, and enjoy the 6 minute burn of a firestarter. Each carton contains 20 pieces, a must-have around the fireplace, firepit, or campfire.
This unique and innovative product is exceptionally well priced, and is half of the “sure shot” duo of fire starting with Eco Forest Light n’ Go Kindling.
       My Thoughts on the eco-forest-firestarters 

    Packaging= I like the sturdy generous size box that the 20 fire starters come in. The striker side of the box is big, wide, and great for holding on to the box in one hand while running your individual fire starter across the side to get a spark to start the fire starter. They 20 pieces inside are interlocked in a 2 section combined continuous length in which you can break off one, two, or how many starters that you choose. 




   Endurance of the product= They strike easy, and the pointed triangle upright end shape, is perfect for a fast flame.
Place them with your choice of item you are trying to burn, and let them do the work for you, to light the fire.  I felt that the scent of the product was low in notice-ability,and pleasant. Each one will give you a 6 minute burn time. I really liked that fact because whether my wood, paper, kindling, etc. etc. were wet or dry, that long minute burn time allowed me to let my other burning items take hold of the flame and get going without a burn out or a fizz out (as I call it). 
  Uses for the product: I feel this product is very handy for many uses to start a fire. Such as home fires indoor for fireplaces, wood stoves used for heat or cooking. As well as outdoors for fire-pits, chimeneas, charcoal grills, bonfires. Anywhere that you would normally use matches to start a fire, use this easy, fast, and product  instead. Only one or two fire-starters were needed to get us a nice warm fire going. I simply struck one and set it where I chose within my fireplace. And let it do it's thing instead of baby sitting the fire and constantly having to feed the flame to keep it going in burning results. 
 Durability of the product: I feel the handiness of the box size and the ability to use as many or as few of the fire-starters, is certainly a money saver. For you can storage the box alone or even keep inside a zip lock bag, and take them along to numerous places to use and not fear them getting wet or not striking as with the worry of regular wooden strike matches. Perfect for taking along in your camper, survival backpack while camping, vacation rentals such as cabins etc. where you want to start your own fire, or even outside in some areas where you maybe working and clearing land acreage and you may need to start a brush fire or a bonfire for fun grouping together with friends at events such as football tail gating etc. 
  Price= Each 20 piece box of the  eco-forest-firestarters  will cost approximately $2.30 per box (prices may vary from store merchants) 
  Where to Buy= You can purchase the eco-forest-firestarters  at the easy location of the following places & Online at essay-group.com BY THE CASE at the Price of $23.80 or individually at the store or online merchants that sell them individually. Right now I have seen them sold individually online or Found in Home Depot Stores. 


  Next...I was able to review the 

   light-n-go-yule-log-


    I really like this product from the Essy Group.  I had previously reviewed the Light 'n Go Bonfire in my teamed up efforts with a fellow blog hostess in our Mother's Day Event Gift Guide Event back in the summer time. And this item of the  light 'n go yule log is much like that item. But it can be used in two ways to burn of both vertically or horizontally. These items are just gorgeous to look it, seriously and almost to pretty to burn.  But burn they do, and in deed providing you with a  1.5 hours of enjoyed burn time.
     Introduction of the product:
Celebrate the Holiday, Burn it for Good Fortune
The innovative Light n’ Go Yule Log is an engineered all natural wood log, which can be lit with one match, and enjoyed for 1.5 hours. Dressed with a handle and seasonal decoration, it is a fun holiday gift, easy to burn for an instant warm atmosphere. This holiday log can be enjoyed in all winter in a fireplace or during the summer in a fire pit.
According to ancient tradition, burning the Yule Log during winter solstice will bring good fortune in the coming year. According to Eco Forest, burning the Yule Log anytime will make a quick and easy fire adding cozy enjoyment to any setting.
Do you know the interesting history of the Yule Log?  I find it very interesting and during the holidays when we enjoy a fireplace fire, I often think of the yule log's history. 
The History of the Yule Log 
yule log is a large wooden log which is burned in the hearth as a part of traditional Yule  or modern Christmas celebrations in several European cultures. It may also be associated with the winter solstice festival or the Twelve Days of Christmas, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Twelfth Night. In which the custom of burning the Yule Log goes back to, and before, medieval times. It was originally a Nordic tradition. Yule is the name of the old Winter Solstice festivals in Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe, such as Germany.
The Yule Log was originally an entire tree, that was carefully chosen and brought into the house with great ceremony. The largest end of the log would be placed into the fire hearth while the rest of the tree stuck out into the room! The log would be lit from the remains of the previous year's log which had been carefully stored away and slowly fed into the fire through the Twelve Days of Christmas. It was considered important that the re-lighting process was carried out by someone with clean hands. It would be hard now of days to burn a whole tree limb. But it's nice to know that you can burn a very pretty wood log during the holidays and get both the comfort of heat and visual beauty in burning the item. 
         So with the enjoyment of this unique Light n’ Go Yule Log by the Essay Group and EcoForest 
The Yule Log is 100% natural and can be started with one match. It burns both horizontally or vertically, in fireplaces or outdoors in Chimineas  and fire pits, or on the go at a campground or at the beach. Popular around the holidays, it is a gift of instant warmth and ambiance. The rest of the year, enjoy the quick and easy cozy atmosphere of a fire. 

The Yule Log is also offered in White Birch! The quickest way to a cozy fire has become more beautiful. White Birch Yule Logs offer the same ease of use and performance of their predecessor, the Yule Log, but with added beauty. According to ancient tradition, the burning of a Yule Log late in winter will bring good fortune in the coming year.
          I like the idea of good fortune in our coming year. My husband has been so blessed this year to make it through major surgery and now his chemo treatments. So I'm blessed already. As much as I wanted to savor my oh so pretty Light n’ Go Yule Log and not burn it until Christmas Eve, I wanted one lucky winner to be able to enjoy one too. And...So reveals my early product review for this great item. 
           So a few days ago, he & I snuggled up by the fireplace and enjoyed the warm comforting burn of both of these great products by the Essay Group. 
            Here you can see how easy it light up, slowly spread across horizontally in a nice visual fire, and lasted us a good one and a half hours of burn time. Actually it lasted a bit longer, for I timed it from start to finish.  I think if your fireplace doors are opened or closed would give you a bit more in burn time. Which ours did so by 12 extra minutes, by me closing our doors. I love this product. From start to finish, it truly delivers heat, visual beauty & less clean up later once the ashes have cooled and I get the task of cleaning out the fireplace, of which I don't mind really. 

They way the Light 'n Go Yule Log looks when it's purchased. It has a handy rope to carry it along. The center of one side is split for the easy, light burn. Of which you can burn it vertically or horizontally, as I choose here within my fireplace. 
Burning and evenly spread flame of fire. 


Where to Buy: The EcoForest-Light-n-Go-Yule-Log by the Essay Group can be purchased from Homedepot.com and will cost around  $9 or $10 each as prices vary from store to store. This being a new  product, I do not yet see it  on the add to cart but you could most likely contact the Essay Group and purchase the item there as well on  the web site. They sell the similar Light 'n Go Bonfire so just check with them here as well.

Light n’ Go Bonfire By #Essay Group Product #Review "Think #Summer #Camping #Outdoors!

         Are you as happy as I am that warm spring days are finally here?  I'm beginning to see, hear & even smell all sorts of outdoor activities going on since it's warmer weather.  I hear the lawn mowers running, see the flower bulbs of irises, daffodils & creeping flocks draping over flower beds, and smell the scent of people grilling out & enjoying campfires outside. And it makes me want to just stay outside & soak it all in.
       We really enjoy being outside on warm nights by our campfire ring or sitting by the chiminea . 
     When we go camping, we always enjoy a warm campfire to sit by. We take wood or we burn fire-logs.
I'm always open to the idea of new products that let us enjoy a warm visible enjoyed fire while outside.
And I like things that are easy to carry along, easy to use, and safe to use that are more controlled.
  And I have come upon a new product that accomplishes all those +factors. 
     In this new product called " Light n' Go Bonfire " made by +Essay Group essay-group.com
          
Introduction to the product :
The Light n’ Go Bonfire is a great alternative to firewood and takes the guesswork out of set up.  This patented product features an embedded wick enabling users to light the log with just one match, avoiding the need for kindling or starters.  The Light n’ Go Bonfire also contains a handle for go-anywhere portability and can be burned virtually anywhere including a fireplace, chiminea or fire pit (do not burn on concrete).  It is also 100 percent natural, chemical-free and safe to cook over.  Made of beautiful white birch, the Light n’ Go Bonfire looks great for entertaining, even when they’re not lit.   The Jumbo Bonfire offers more than 2.5 hours of burn time and the standard Bonfire offers more than 1.5 hours of burn time.  Pricing ranges from $9.99 to $11.99 for the standard Bonfire and $11.99 to $13.99 for the Jumbo Bonfire.  The Light n’ Go Bonfire can be purchased at Home Depot stores or online at www.light-ngo.com.

The Showstopper and its Portable
The Bonfire is new, unique, and the most extraordinary innovation in firewood of our time. Place it indoors in a fireplace or outdoors in a fire-pit or chiminea and create a beautiful bonfire with one match. No chemicals, just pure kiln dried white birch, with a paperboard starter, with its patented design, delivers a great fire and an instant good time.
The Bonfire burns more than 1.5 hours, while the Bonfire Jumbo goes for about 2.5 hours. Both can be enjoyed when used in a setting suitable for high temperature wood burning. Take them camping and set the bonfire on a few rocks, cook some marshmallows, hotdogs, or drop a fry pan on the flame for eggs, it’s all natural. It’s year round instant entertainment, never easier or “cooler”.
But remember, Never place the Bonfire on concrete or similar surface when burning, as the heat will crack and pop the cement and burning embers may be dispersed.

      I was sent the Light n' Go Bonfire  for product review.  And this will be a two part review in the before and after stages of burning the review product. I say that because for us here in eastern Tennessee, we are getting lots of rain & I haven't had the chance to be outside long enough with no rain or wet soggy ground to enjoy it yet.
The product is also as pretty as it is outdoor useful. An eye candy piece to enjoy in its crafted beauty. The web site suggested as such & I totally agreed with that statement once my
Light n' Go Bonfire  arrived.  

  It smells so good.  If you like the scent of wood , then your going to enjoy this product even before you set it a flame.
     As you can see it has a center section on the top that is split & has a narrow canal just slightly down into that grove, which in it's center houses the wick to light for the flame.
  My living-room is lodge theme & honestly, I want to savor the beauty of it a bit longer in decoration for my theme setting. So I don't mind the rain stopping me quite yet from enjoying it outside.
        


               
       As it states in the description, do not burn it on concrete.  I like the fact that I can burn the Light n' Go Bonfire in my fireplace inside, or doors in my Chiminea or open ground fire pit of which we have & enjoy both when outdoors. I know I could easily use it now inside my fireplace indoors & show you how it works. But now that it is Spring & the weather will allow me to enjoy it outside, that will be my part two review for you to see once our rainy days let up. So I plan on burning mine in my outside ringed rock  fire-pit that has pea gravel under neath it. I think a roasted hot dog over it will be a must enjoyed evening :).  We have two sitting areas outside that can be enjoyed with an outside fire. Our rocked- ringed fire-pit as just mentioned & our clay chiminea (which is really getting old & about to bite the dust~ hint to hubby if he reads this post that I really long for a nice steel fire pit).  

There are so many places I can think of to take this item too & enjoying like the beach, campgrounds, church outside gatherings, high school Bon fires after the games, boy scouts events, cabin rentals on vacation that most times provide us of a regular fireplace or your own back yard etc. Thus the description " Light n' Go Bonfire".
      So be sure to watch for my 2nd review part add-on that will let you see how it burns for me. 
I would so enjoy this product at our local campground we like to camp at.  So easy to carry with it's attached rope to pickup & use. Providing a nice bright big flame to see at night. If you have never sit by an outside campfire, to see the colorful flame as it dances in the night's darkness, felt the warmth near your body when the chill is in the air behind you or smelled the great smoky scent a campfire can let you enjoy, then you don't know what your missing. It's so peaceful & relaxing.  It's no wonder why they say the Light n' Go Bonfire
is "The Showstopper and its Portable!".
