Make It Count: Tester
Fireplace "Java-Log"
Despite foul-odor fears, we went ahead and lit the Canadian-made "Java-Log," now in some stores here. Created from recycled coffee grounds, this alternative to standard fire logs carries a surprisingly sweet odor — even after intensifying halfway through its promised two to three hours.
Priced at $3.49-$3.99, its on-par performance and Earth-friendly focus work for us. www.java-log.com
