Abstract
A scented artificial firelog includes combustible particulate material, binder material, and a plurality of scented pellets. The scented pellets produce an insect repellent scent as the pellets are incrementally heated by the gradual combustion of the firelog. The scented pellets are kernels of granular material that are impregnated with a scented liquid such as citronella oil. The granular material is a porous, cellulosic material, and is preferred to be bird seed. As each scented pellet is heated by the incremental burning of the firelog, the scented liquid retained therein is heated and causes the kernel of granular material to explode, thus resulting in a pop being heard by the user, with the scent being simultaneously released by the scented pellet.
