“My new Flamenco logs look incredible! So realistic, I shall have to be on high alert in case someone in the family decides to ‘clean out’ the fireplace and they end up in the garbage! Seriously though, one would not be able to tell that it isn’t a real, wood burning fireplace. Thanks once again for all your help.”

"The Flamenco is easy to set up and use, and its appearance makes other firelog sets look very unrealistic. For someone who wants the occasional ambiance of a fire, Flamenco provides an extremely realistic alternative."

"At last I found a beautiful dancing fire for our fireplace without the mess of wood and ashes or professional installation."

"My wife and I have been searching for a fireplace insert for over 20 years. We live in an 85-year-old house that has a fireplace designed for an old-style gas ceramic heater. We considered having our fireplace rebuilt into a wood burner, and I also researched gas logs and Sterno sets. All of these options were either too expensive or not realistic. Being an architect, appearance is critical to me. I know when something looks right.

When I discovered your website and viewed the Flamenco video, I thought immediately it must be enhanced. My wife saw the video, too, and she was ready to order a log set right away. I hesitated for several days, made another trip down to the local fireplace shop, but again left disappointed. Finally, I reluctantly agreed to order a Flamenco, still skeptical about whether we would actually be satisfied when it arrived.

I must admit, I was totally wrong. As soon as I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of materials and construction, the best I had seen. But, of course, the true test was the first time we lit our Flamenco. We could not be happier – the ceramic logs, the flame color, the crackle of the burning gel – most people will not be able to tell this isn't a real wood fire. Thank you for a great product!"
