The main purpose of Uncut Rounds is convenience. They are 24″ unsplit logs used for firewood. Each log usually burns between 2-5 hours. However, they are difficult to start before you have a hot fire burning. We recommend using our hickory to get a hot fire burning, and then placing an Uncut Round on the fire. Then sit back and enjoy. For large fire pits, some may enjoy using 2-3 Uncut Rounds for a large, long lasting fire. They are particularly meant for medium to large fireplaces and fire pits.
