Magical color cones are pine cones that have been processed so that when burned in wood fires, they cause blue and green colors to appear in the orange flames. They are not intended to start fires but rather are tossed into established fires for the color effect.

Color cones should only be used in wood fires including wood burning fireplaces and campfires. They should not be used in gas log fireplaces.
WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS?
    Natural pine cones, paraffin wax, copper sulfate, and ammonium chloride are used to produce color cones. You will find most of our packages contain a mixture of different species of pine cones; pinion, loblolly, Douglas fir and sand pine. The combination gives variety to the package and helps us give full value.
HOW ARE THEY MADE?
    Natural pine cones are dipped into hot liquid paraffin wax and while still hot, the cones are tumbled in special equipment where the two color compounds are applied. Once the wax cools and hardens, it holds the color compounds on the cones.
HOW LONG WILL THEY GIVE THE COLOR EFFECT?
    A single cone will have a color effect for about 6 to 8 minutes. Typically we find ½lb of color cones will be the amount used in one evening.
WHERE ARE THEY USED?
    Color cones should only be used in wood fires including wood burning fireplaces and campfires. They should not be used in gas log fireplaces.
HOW LONG WILL THEY GIVE THE COLOR EFFECT?
    A single cone will have a color effect for about 6 to 8 minutes. Typically we find ½lb of color cones will be the amount used in one evening.
DO THEY LEAVE A RESIDUE?
    A well established fire will completely burn up the cone and leave no residue.
  • Although low in toxicity, the color compounds should not be ingested. Both compounds can irritate the eyes.

Fun and Entertaining
By SunshineVerified Purchaser from PC, FL on 1/10/2008
Pros:
Good Value
Cons:
A little messy
Best Uses:
Bon Fires, Outside Fire Pit's
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These cones jazz up a regular fire. Great for get togethers with a fire involved. The cones last longer than you would think and the colors are fun. The flames are more blue than green but still worth it. I divided the cones up into different gift baskets and everyone has asked for more.

 
pine cones not showy
By VelVerified Purchaser from Lubbock Texas on 1/5/2008
Cons:
Bad Value
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I used them as hostess gifts, and was very disappointed in how little color change there was. I have had a lot better ones from you.
