I was in there today looking for secutars (20 different types, none were what I was after) and found this gem.

Seriously, WTF?
$10 for a hacked up log offcut with a piece of rope attached? Must be a hell of a mark up.

Bonfire Starter??
If you had enough wood for a bonfire, why would you need to buy a piece of wood to start it??
There must be some real gumbies out there, seriously!

Ok gentlemen, I'll bite as this could be fishing or your naivety. These cut logs are known as Swedish torches. Popular in the north.

regardless of their quality control there, anyone buying sausages from a hardware store carpark can't really complain about the taste I reckon. Got a friend that was inducted into the Sausage Kings Hall of Fame recently, get a bad snag from him and you can complain, but not from a hardware store.

What taste? fat isn't a taste or a flavour...  ;D  Anyway, the $2.50 is happily donated. It's the $3.00 worth of antacids tabs I begrudge..

Ha ha, any 1/2 decent camper needs to have cast iron guts..

The old Bunnings snags are probably a lot better than some stuff I've consumed while camping !!   :cheers:

I'm familiar with the process and have done it a few times when camping, but $10?

Come on guys, this is a quality American product, manufactured to conform to the expectations of the most eclectic purchaser. Of course you have to pay for it. What is that old saying that keeps popping up when people pay outlandish prices for something, and they need to feel better about it?

You only get what you pay for.......  ;D  8)

It probably comes down to need vs. cost, but I am damned sure I wouldn't sharpen the chainsaw and throw it in the car, drive out to a dead tree somewhere, cut the log thing to length, slice the top to allow the fire to burn more efficiently, and bring it back to town. If I wanted one I wood (pun intended) be happy to pay a lousy $10.
Plus you can get a veggie snag sanga if you go to a Bunnings with people conducting  fundraising for local Pussy.

These only burn for around 20 minutes as well before they burn out.

surprised there was not a riot

Rusty

Came across a similar thing at Nunawading Bunnings a while ago with my son. I think it was a cat protection society. Saw the sign for vegan snags and thought how cute.
So I asked if they had real sausages and was politely told no.  So off we go and detour past another Bunnings for lunch.
 
Really if I wanted a vegan snag wouldn't it be easy to BBQ a carrot?

I think these could be the same people that will light it up on their verandah or balcony, sit around enjoying the warmth and glow, then wonder why the timber deck burnt down around them
