To expound on that, you can make your own firelogs
(like the storebought ones) with sawdust and leftover candle wax saved
from burned down candles.

I sometimes buy fire logs at Coastal Farm Supply. Their logs contain
no binders. They are extruded sawdust, compressed so tightly that the
sawdust holds together all by itself. You can use them in a wood
stove, which you can't do with the wax kind.

I visited northern Europe last year, and those generic firelogs are very
popular there. Come shrink-wrapped in bundles of 20 or so for about 5 bucks.
Lots of people use wood heat, especially in the boonies with no or
unreliable gas service, and nice wood is too scare and valuable to burn.
People get brush trim and deadfall wood from friends and relatives with land
or connections, but only rich people get firewood delivered.
