I bought this thermometer for use with my Jotul wood stove to monitor stove temperatures. The stove literature says that the stove should be operated between 400 and 600 degrees (F) for best results and the break in instructions recommended 3 fires to temperatures of 200, 300 and 400 degrees, so I decided I'd better have a thermometer.

I initially bought an Inferno stove _pipe_ thermometer at a stove store because that was all they had. Once I read the instructions for that thermometer, they said it wasn't recommended for stove _top_ use, so I bought this thermometer online. The recommendation is apparently because of the temperature range markings, not because of any difference in the thermometers actual performance. Once I had the chance to compare the two, both of the thermometers read very similar temperatures, this one has the correct ideal range (400-600) labeled on it. The stove pipe thermometer would be fine if you use the temperature, not the colored zones marked on the thermometer. The two appear to be identical except for the painted range.

I'm a tool geek, so I also bought an infrared thermometer (Kintrex) to check my two stove thermometers. The IR thermometer works quickly and seems to be very accurate. It shows that when the stove is warming up, the Inferno thermometers lag by as much as 50-100 degrees. Once the stove temperature has stabilized, they agree with the IR measurement very well. Another thing the Kintrex thermometer shows is that each of the four corners of the stove can be a very different temperature as the stove is heating up. This variance can be 100 degrees or even more. Once the stove is up to temperature, the four corners will be within 10-20 degrees of each other.

As long as you remember there will be a lag while the stove is heating up and the fact that one corner's temperature alone isn't going to be an exact representation of the whole stove temperature, this should be a useful tool as you learn to use your stove.

OK, so this is only a thermometer so I won't write a long review, but I have to say that this little device helps me operate my wood stove better. It helps me know when I have the stove "overfired" or when I need to add more wood and turn up the oxygen. We've named the zones "Papa Bear" (too hot), Mama Bear (too cold) and Baby Bear (just right). Yeah . . . I know, but I have young kids.

I purchased two of these for our wood stoves at the cottage. They really help you burn at a safe level which in turn conserves wood and avoids excess creosote as they say. The only suggestion, and I don't know if it can be done, is to make the arrow a bright color so it is easier to see in dim lighting conditions. I would rather not turn on a light just to read the stove temperature. If the arrow were brighter, I would definetely give it 5 *****

We purchased this thermometer after trying two others (we have two wood stoves): 1. We purchased a "Rutland" at our local ACE hardware. This thermometer seemed accurate but is difficult to read without getting very close, because of the colors. 2. Then we purchased a "Meeco Red Devil" thermometer from Menards. This thermometer had an attractive white background that was very easy to read without getting very close when we bought it. However, after using this "Meeco" product for a few days, the attractive white background turned a light tan/brown that is difficult to read without getting very close. Also this "Red Devil" thermometer showed about 100 degrees hotter than the "Rutland" thermometer. 3. After getting the "Inferno" thermometer from Amazon.com we found that it registered the same as the "Rutland" thermometer but is much easier to read from an easy distance away. The Inferno has kept its original attractive colors. We recommend the "Inferno" as the best choice.

Finally, the Chinese did something right. Most Chinese products are s***ty crappy quality. But not this one. This fireplace mantle is beautiful and elegant. (Compliments my Michael Amini Lavelle Blanc furniture perfectly.) Strong, sturdy and soooooo easy to assemble. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL FOLKS!!!....I REALLY GOT LUCKY!!!!! The "FIRE" is thee most realistic I've seen yet with so many variations like interior lighting aglow in the fire chamber, brick siding, red amber burning logs that pulse the fire-light intensities and a shaded mirror in the back of the fire chamber to double the effect of it all. I still can't figure out the mirror in the back and how the brick reflection works...it's like fricken MAGIC...YEAH, LIKE "SMOKE AND MIRRORS"...LOL. It has a washable air-filter. It is virtually soundless when on. The only noise I can hear is if I turn the heater on, simultaneously with the fire, the air blows...very quietly. The only thing I regret is that I wish I had bought my living room electric fireplace from this manufacturer. Someone put alot of design and engineering time into this unit...BRAVO!! I give it 6 stars!

When you get one of these little electric things for you house you want it to look as least-cheesey as possible despite it being A) Plastic and B) Faux, the best way to get there is by having the sides of these unites not be flat yucky black plastic. This one has the "vintage" looking mesh wire, and is open on the sides. It looks MUCH nicer with the open sides. I've been super happy with it. It's by our kitchen table by the back door and keeps our feet warm in the morning, my 3yo thinks its a real fire and if all the lights are off in the house it does feel quiet real. We love it. I like the 2 separate heat settings, and the ability to have it on with no heat.

I ordered one of these at the same time my husband bought a different kind from farm and fleet. This is great quality and way more durable than the one he picked up. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because it's a bit difficult to get up off the stove...the one my husband got had a little wire on it that made it easy to move.

My husband's sister and her family live in one of those "cold-in-winter" states. For them, lighting a fire isn't some kind of romantic ritual -it's warm hands and feet.

When I asked him about a gift the whole family would enjoy, he said he had an off-the-wall suggestion: something to make starting those early-morning fires easier. I remembered a gift of fatwood a friend gave me years ago, for our more romantic California watching-fire evenings. Voila, the perfect gift!

A few sticks of this magical stuff will get the home fires burning. No stinky chemicals, no danger of flare-ups, just sweet, resiny wood that works like magic.

I can start a fire in my woodstove with one match everytime.

I heat my entire home with wood,so once it gets cold I build 1 or 2 fires a day...Every day.

I put two pieces of split wood on the bottom,angled a bit into a "V".I then place two chunks(4 to 6 chunks per bar) of the firestarter in the "V" made from the first two pieces of wood.I then place 2 or 3 smaller pieces across the V, then one larger piece on top...Now comes the kicker(and should not be done if your stove has a fancy ceramic catalytic converter) I give the V a squirt of charcoal lighter fluid....a little dab will do ya!

Throw in a match..WHOOSH! I leave the door cracked for a few minutes,then add wood and tighten it down for a long burn.

When you heat completely with wood you don't want to spend any time starting the fire...I'm a pro.

This is a good product.

Of course, good seasoned or dry wood is essential.

Works everytime.

PS this item is available from wally world for under 10 bucks.

These little sticks work wonderfully for starting fires. I have found that they can be divided into smaller segments, halves or even thirds and still get a fire going depending on the condition of the wood you are starting. Great product.

Honest reviews on Wood Fire Starter

This is one of those products that would probably get a 5-star review if there weren't other products on the market that are far better. I've always used StarterLogg's. One of the big box stores didn't have them and they assured me these Duraflames were the same thing they're not.

Starterlogg's have the consistency of pressboard mixed with wax. When you separate them they leave craggly surface that starts fire easily. Duraflames are closer to MDF much denser and smoother harder to start. They also have a wax paper wrapper which you're supposed to light. Every time I've tried this the paper just burns off and leaves a charred lump.

The only way I've found to use these is tear the wrapper off, break a brick into smaller pieces, scrape one end to try to get a rough surface area and light. Then after it's been burning for 3-4 mins take a fireplace poker and knock off the burning end to make kind of an "ember slurry". After that it will burn good, and start anything, but it's just more hassle than it needs to be when there are much better options for the same price.

By the way, if you dont mind the effort you can make your own just by mixing melted paraffin/candle wax with sawdust.

Hi, The decorative Pine Cone Cover was shipped in just the manufacturer's packaging; plastic wrap in a sealed cardboard box without any padding bubble wrap or peanuts nor was the cardboard box put in another box with padding. The seller said the manufacturer would not allow the product to be taken out of the box to be re-packed, so that it would have to be packed in another box with padding to ship with-out damage. Several of the tips of the pine cone were broken off, so the damage was very noticeable. But more than that, the pine cone itself was poorly manufactured, with lots of air-bubble holes from when the material was poured into the mold. It was very tacky looking. Also, it was much larger than it appeared in the photo, so even if it wasn't damaged or poorly made, it would seem really out of place, instead of hiding the remote receiver cover. Note: the seller did refund the full purchase price as well as shipping and I didn't have to ship the item back; they just told me to 'dispose' of it. I appreciated not having to spend any more time or $$$$ shipping it back.

I live in a coastal region where it rarely gets cold enough to use my fireplace. Even if it did get that cold, I have a central heating system that defeats the purpose of using a fireplace. But since I have it, I figured I may as well make it look nice instead of letting it just sit and collect dust. This toolkit was part of my plan to decorate the fireplace and make it look presentable to whatever guests may visit. What I like most about the kit is that it's relatively inexpensive and a breeze to put together once it arrives. I looks very nice next to my brick fireplace. My only complaint and I wouldn't even call it a complaint since the toolkit is mostly for show is that the broom bristles are very rough, and a few fell out as I was putting the kit together and placing it. But since I have no intention of actually using the toolkit (maybe once every blue moon), I can't imagine it's going to be that big a deal. It seems to hold up as long as it's not in motion. However, if this is a toolkit you actually plan on using and using often, the broom bristles may be something to consider. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The package arrived on time and intact, it was real easy to assemble, and my lil ole fireplace has never looked better.

The thermostatic wheel has no cut off for the fan when the fire in the stove goes out. Only has a over heat safety cut off at 200deg. The manual switch button not included in the kit. The hardware to attach blower to stove has to long screws. Bottom left screw is nearly impossible to install.Can't get any help from manufacturer on any of the issues this is the reason for going down to 2 stars.

Just installed this yesterday, it did a great job of conserving coal and keeping the fire going through the night nice and hot in the morning. Seems like a quality built, will update if there should be any issues...now the bad part, the directions that come with it are absolutely terrible...they have you referencing pages that they don't provide you with...fortunately I'm an electrician so I didn't need them to wire it and had it together in about 10 minutes but your regular homeowner would never be able to get this working properly without calling customer care. Also there is a jumper that must be removed to allow the thermostat to control the fan (this isn't even mentioned in the instructions) if you don't remove it the blower will simply run regardless of thermostat setting...I'd definitely recommend the product, however prepare to get angry when installing

This product works great with our wood burning furnace. My husband just sets the temperature upstairs on the temp. control panel and loads the furnace with the wood and this "draft thing" just does its thing and in the house is comfortable warmth. We usually set it at 72 F and this product just keeps it that way. Before we got this item the house sometimes got so hot we had to open windows and doors in middle of the winter because in the house was 82 F. We couldn't control how much warmth would go inside house before. But now we just load the furnace every 8-10 hours, so pretty easy.

I would recommend this product to everybody with wood burning furnaces.

I have some background in electronics, and was able to install this myself.

But the documentation was sparse, a single sheet with a schematic.

There's no reason an amateur couldn't install this blower safely, except for the complete lack of instructions.

That lack required me to go buy a replacement thermostat when the supplied thermostat melted.
