Today the dynamic duo discuss a new product that Dan created and is now selling on the internet...Mini Firewood. If you haven't noticed there is a growing trend in mini fire pits that are small enough to sit on a table top. These new fire pits are a big hit by apartment dwellers and city folk looking for a wood burning experience but cannot have a large open fire. Dan saw this as an opportunity to bring a new product to market and, with it, demonstrates how creative thinking can bring new opportunities to an old industry.
Here is Dan's website for mini firewood. www.back40minifirewood.com
