Do those devices that roll newspapers into fireplace logs work?

I have seen a few devices that roll your newspapers up into tight logs. When I have burned looser newspaper I get a lot of ash flying around, and I do not want that. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.

They do roll the newspaper into logs but they still leave a lot of ash in the fireplace when you burn them. Also, you have to be careful and not roll them too tightly because air doesn’t get to all of the sheets and they smolder.
