http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/askthecalifornian/41919 Q: I have faithfully followed the rules on no-burn days even though I do not agree with it all. &nbsp;I was talking to a friend about it recently and she told me that on no-burn days you could still burn Duraflame-type processed logs. &nbsp;I thought no-burn meant no burning at all? Can you burn Duraflame-type logs on no-burn days? If so I have missed out on a cozy fire on many cold nights. Thanks, &mdash; Diana Collins A: According to Brenda Turner, spokeswoman for the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, the Duraflame logs can only be burned on burn days. Turner said they are considered one of the clean sources of wood, just like dried, seasoned firewood. &nbsp; Q: I have faithfully followed the rules on no-burn days even though I do not agree with it all. &nbsp;I was talking to a friend about it recently and she told me that on no-burn days you could still burn Duraflame-type processed logs. &nbsp;I thought no-burn meant no burning at all?
