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!".

 We here at the Cutshaw household, love to enjoy a comforting fire in many ways & many places.
We enjoy camping so we always have campfire rings as we do so. We love sitting outside our home by the  Chiminea and enjoy a warm fire there. We often go to our nearby tourist towns here in eastern Tennessee and rent cabins to enjoy for a relaxing weekend and I love to take along a fire log to use in the fireplaces they offer. A prefect way to enjoy a long lengthy warm cozy stay by the fireplace without the mess or worry if you did not have firewood at the rental site.
  And the most enjoyed place we love to use is our fireplace in our home.
We do have firewood that we use. But it can be messy from the insects that can inside them, the ashes it leaves in buildup to clean up. The cutting it, stacking it and carrying it inside to use is lots of work to clean up. And as enjoyable as it is with real wood burned, there are other ways to enjoy a longer lasting fire. And the products from enviro-log can give you those options.
    I was able to receive free for product review 2 enviro-log  #firelogs  which are 5lb logs. And I received the enviro-log #firestarters that come 24 per pack.
Let me show you the enviro-log #firelog in action first.
Here below I made a very brief video of the #Enviro-Log #Firelog being enjoyed. My cameras battery was going low so both videos are brief, and viewed sideways lol. But it lets you see how nice these products from #Enviro-Log can make your fireplace much more enjoyed. I lit the log alone for a while & then added wood to show you how the firelog can be enjoyed alone or keep your wood going strong.
 Our wood was wet, ugh..Another reason why #Enviro-Log #Firelogs or Firestarters are a great product. No need to wait for ever in wet wood to dry out & getting it lite. The #Enviro-Log #Firelogs or Firestarters  light right up with one flick of a flame touching them. Providing hours of warm comfort heat to enjoy.
 
 
 
 

                                         
 
 
  I"ll be honest with you. I have used other firelogs before trying this product of #Enviro-Log #Firelogs or Firestarters.
The VERY Big difference I see, that for me is a Very big +factor. Is the fact that the #Enviro-Log #Firelogs  are made from waxed cardboard. And we all know how much paper is waisted each day in our world. Almost everything we buy daily as a consumer either comes in a cardboard box as we buy it in bulk or those boxes are tossed away in the stores where we buy individual items. Most places do recycle the boxes but some just shred them and throw away.
So I think its wonderful to take these cardboard boxes & wax them for recycled use, as this company of #Enviro-Log  has done.
   I feel it helps our environment for better clean up & provides us with a cleaner less messed way to enjoy a fire. One that is sure to light the first time & last longer in a clean burn.
   I store my firelogs in my ring near my fireplace. And I could store my #Enviro-Log #Firestarters in the box they came in. But I put the starter cups in a basket I had & will keep them over to the side and reach for one as needed. They smell so good! The wax scent is nice while it sits out & then when its lit to use. They make lighting a fire so much easier! Flow on down the page to see just what I mean.

     Here is my pictures of just one wax cup in the #Enviro-Log #Firestarters placed underneath two damp wet pieces of hardwood that is still green some what & would normally take ALOT of kindling wood, papers, pinecones, you name it, to get it going & to stay burning. Also, I made it hard for the starter in my test for my using the first one. Because I left the old ashes from the firelog burnt prior too, still in the bottom of my fireplace insert. It's hard to start a fresh fire with ashes underneath. But as you will see as you view the photos & video just ahead, the  #Enviro-Log #Firestarter had no problem lighting, lighting fast, but burning long, and keeping my wood going strong after it took lit.
 
                              See the ONE Single Waxed Cup of the
                                  #Enviro-Log #Firestarter underneath the two hard wood logs (and remember they were damp from rain being outside)
                                                   I lit it & it took right off & caught the wood right up in a nice flame that burned great. I actually think because the wax cup burns slowly, that it gave my damp wet wood a chance to dry out as it burned around it.  And again...I loved the scent of the wax cup by #Enviro-Log #Firestarter.   And this photo below shows just 10 minutes into burning of the wax cup fire starter that was lit.

          Watch my brief, sideways viewed video :) of it burning nicely still

 #Enviro-Log #Firelogs OR #Firestarters Are Pretty cool I mean hot!! huh?
