Is it safe to roast marshmallows on a fire made with fake logs?

It should be fine. If you’re really worried, toast your marshmallows over a stove burner. Either gas or electric will work.

Fake logs are made with wax and sawdust, nothing toxic there.

This study analyzes the emissions from several brands of fake logs and finds that they give off a lot less crap than real logs.

Roast away!

Marshmallows taste like styrofoam anyway, so you might discover some new substance.

Can I roast marshmallows or cook other food over stax® logs?

No, stax logs were not designed to be a cooking fuel, and might leave a bad taste on food directly cooked over the logs.

It depends on how the log is produced. Some work for cooking some don’t, if in doubt check the brand’s web site, or call them. I don’t think they will kill you but they may make the food taste funny.

You are breathing in the smoke given off by the fake logs.

This is a great question, something that had never occurred to me, Yikes! From what I have seen today, it depends upon the particular brand of log you are using. Some are not suitable and others such as Duraflame Roasting Logs are. You will definitely want to look on the package as to whether it says it’s suitable for cooking, and if it does not mention that, then you should call the company and ask.

Again, great question! More lurve to you!
