In 2009, Bill Bies and his family began selling a portable quick start fire log modeled after a traditional Swedish torch, aptly dubbed onelogfire. Their goal was to inspire others to gather around a fire to enjoy one another's company or some peaceful serenity of the outdoors by providing a convenient portable fire log that only needed a couple of hours to burn. Little did they know that their fire log passion project would grow into a full-fledged business.
