You shouldn’t cook over most typical fire logs, such as a regular Duraflame Firelog. The residue off of the logs can add a funky flavor to your food, and since they generally produce only a flame and no coals, they aren’t really the best fire logs for cooking anyway.How do you put out Duraflame logs?To put out a Duraflame log, carefully douse the log with water or sand. If one is available, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher. Douse the entire log with water to put the fire out. Continue pouring until the hissing sound stops, and all the embers are out.
