The story of The Burning Log starts with a man named Lou Bourada. In 1965, Lou left his previous career at the Ottawa Fire Department to begin an exciting new venture: a swimming pool company. From a humble beginning on Churchill Avenue in Ottawa's historic Westboro neighbourhood, Poolarama was born-but that was just the beginning.
In the 1970s, Lou set his sights on his next milestone: constructing his own building to operate from. In 1976, Poolarama moved into its own building on Richmond Road, and in 1978, Lou opened The Burning Log, with the goal of building upon the success of Poolarama to become Ottawa's #1 provider of wood and gas fireplaces.

Hi, This is in response to your reply below:
I was actually unable to get a quote in-store despite being the only customer - I was told to send an email after I left, and I never did get a response. Please see the attached photo. The reason I am replying to this is to give you an opportunity to improve for future clients. I have since purchased 3 fireplaces from Clean Sweep in Perth. Thanks.
No interest in selling me a product. Would not give quotes in person - told to send email and still haven't heard back (so obviously not a same-day quote which is advertised on the website)

I called because I just broke my fireplace glass door. The gentleman that answered, a Friday night at past 5 O'clock, told me that he could order one, but to call a local glass shop would probably be cheaper. I REALLY appreciated his tip. When money is a result, not the goal, people give the right answer. Sir, you have all my respect.

I'd prefer to give no start, but that's not an option... My issue: a cheminey flashing ordered on Wednesday, expected on Thursday but not later then Friday. But on Saturday, still not delivered in the store... As a result, our contractor can't finish his job on the roof. The issue seemed to be the least of the Burning Log rep's concern... The guy didn't propose any solution order then an empty "oh well"... 😤
