Everyone who gave this product a bad review put it together wrong! Just read the directions (crazy idea, I know!) and you'll be fine.

You don't need great strength to bend the bottom panel into place DON'T DO THAT! If you don't read the instructions, that's how it looks like you would put it together, BUT YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! Don't put the panel into the grooves. The grooves are just decorative. JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. It will take 2 people, because you need one person to hold the pieces in place. My friend and I put it together in LESS THAN 5 MIN. (And it only took that long because I was confused by the other stupid reviewers.)

We love it! The logs also require 2 people to make (one person to feed in the newspapers, and one person to turn the crank) but they go quickly, and it's fun!! (But I don't think you need to wet the ends of the newspaper if you do it this way.) The only hard part is getting the newspaper log off the spindle. We find it works best to leave the first few rolls loose as you begin to roll the log, and then roll it tighter. Then it comes off more easily. (Oh, pssome people complained that the spindle shouldn't come out of the hole, but how else are you supposed to get the newspaper log out?)

Crumpled newspaper is not easier. Whoever said that, obviously doesn't get it! These logs BURN LIKE WOOD! They're NOT STARTER LOGS. They are log-replacements. Crumpled newspaper burns quickly to start a fire. These tightly-wound logs burn as slow as a piece of wood. But they're easier than wood, because you can light them with one match. And cheaper! Great for people in cities where wood is scarce and expensive, but we get free newspapers everyday!

Sorry for the long review. I just feel bad that this great product is getting a bad rap just because people don't know how to follow instructions.

Ashley is right. I was a little worried given some of the reviews saying this was hard to put together, but it takes no time at all. The directions leave two things out, but they are somewhat minor. In the beginning when putting the iron bars thru the frames, loosely attach the nuts. Common sense, but it should be in there. Then do what the directions say: insert the plate and tighten the screws. There may be slight bending, to get it to stay in the tracks, but not much. Then when inserting the pipe, it doesn't mention anything about the wooden plug in the pipe. That needs to come out, then tap the pipe into the handle, and insert as directed. Piece of cake!

I was really getting tired of rolling logs by hand. Looking forward to putting this thing to use!

I found the roller easy to assemble and operate. It was delivered quickly after the order was placed. I couldn't be happier.

Roy put the log roller together but I am the one that makes the "logs". I am a disabled senior citizen and have found the roller to be very easy to operate if you take the time to experiment with different ways of making the "logs".

First of all, make sure the "slit" that you start the first paper in is at the top. I fold the first paper about 3/4" down and then insert it into the slit and start rolling and whence that one is 95% rolled, I insert the next one into it and roll that one and so on until the log is big enough to slide off and I have never had a problem with how tight I roll the logs when it comes to sliding them off if you just turn the handle back and forth while pushing with the other hand, they work themselves right off.

I also wear my garden gloves because the ink from the paper makes my hands very black.

I read somewhere that it said to wet the paper...no need. I also wire tie, tape, or put a piece of ribbon around the log when I am done to hold it rolled until I am ready to use it.

I would definitely recommend this product.

Honest reviews on Uniflame Newspaper Log Roller

I put mine together last night with little difficulty, though admittedly the directions are not simple to follow. As other reviewers have said, DON'T try to bend the metal piece -I think people are trying to make it fit between the two metal rods. It rests within the frame underneath these rods. Other advice I've seen that makes good sense is to soak the finished log in water, press the water out and let it dry completely to bond the sheets together and make it more like the original -wood. We made one log last night in about five minutes, and yes, it's a four hand effort. Check around on price! I found one online for $36 with shipping, the exact same one that goes for almst $80 elsewhere.

This log roller is just simple and easy to use. It was together in about 5 minutes and rolling news paper logs. No bending like others have said. It is as easy as following the instructions and you will have no problem.
