Grady's Online can improve the picture/description of this item and not expect a customer to know the difference between a LLS.CM, (your propane feed to the lighter comes horizontally out of the side of your fireplace) and a LLA.CM (your propane feed comes off the bottom of your fireplace). Grady charges 31% ($5) to "restock" this item and does not help you save money on the return shipping costs, which were more than double their cost in my case. Note the LLS version (I did not see before I bought this one unfortunately) Grady also sells for 10% more has plenty of pictures (apparently customer provided) to help you know you are getting the right item.

Here is what I wrote in response to another reviewer here, sums it up:

{"To the reviewer that was complaining that you take a 50/50 chance with this vandor by not knowing which one to buy, simply read the description."

I wrote "We disagree. I just received mine, here are many reasons I disagree:

I ordered mine from the Amazon Tablet interface, which cuts off the description BEFORE pointing out it is an "Angle Pattern"

Let's talk about "Angle Pattern", how about just calling it what it is, a 90 degree fitting, as opposed to let's say a straight fitting!

Or, how about we improve this so the same product has both holes, and you pick which hole to stuff (don't take that as a personal attack).

Lastly, since clearly multiple people are complaining about this, how about Grady simply change the bloody name of the product to ... wait for it ... "Canterbury Enterprise LLA.CM Blue Flame Log Lighter (90 degree fitting)"}

Yes, I suspect the product itself is worthy of 5 stars, and that it is a great price. I will cross post this when I buy the Straight one.

To the reviewer that was complaining that you take a 50/50 chance with this vandor by not knowing which one to buy, simply read the description. In the description for this version it says it is the angled pattern, meaning it comes off your gas line at a right angle. The other version is the straight pattern, meaning it comes off your gas line in a straight line. Excellent product.

Honest reviews on Canterbury Enterprise Lla.cm Blue Flame Log Lighter

The low rating isn't because of the product; it's because there is no way to know from the description which of the two available models of the Blue Flame Log Lighter you need.

I had a 50-50 chance and got the wrong one.

I tried to call the customer service number of Grady's Online and could only leave a message that was never returned.

I sent an e-mail to the customer service e-mail address on the packing slip and no response.

I'd like to be able to return the item because the LLA.CM configuration can't be used in my fireplace.

You take your chances with this vendor

This product works just as advertised. It's so nice to be able to light our outdoor fireplace easily. I had it professionally installed a few months ago and have probably used it a dozen times. A bonus is if your fire is dying out, you can turn the gas back on and get it going again.

I've heard a lot of people complain about rusting with these. You have to care for them properly to avoid that. Properly seasoned cast iron is very nearly indestructible if maintained. When you get it, wast it out, let it dry completely, then wet a cloth in vegetable oil, and wipe on a thin coat inside and out. Bake it at 400 degrees for half an hour. IGNORE THE SMOKE. IT'S FINE! it will smoke a LOT though. Open a window for ventilation. After the half hour bake time, let it cool, then repeat the oiling and baking two more times. When you are done, it's properly seasoned. Redo it two or three times a year. We use ours over the open fire when we are camping. It's awesome to have hot water for tea, cocoa, and even dish washing.

BTW, that seasoning method keeps your cast iron skillets in prime shape too. If any cast iron cookware gets crusty and you cant scrub it clean, put them in an electric oven, and turn on the self-clean feature. When it cools down, wire brush the crud off, and follow the seasoning instructions above, :-)

This is a good heavy tea kettle. I got it to sit on the woodburning stove to evaporate water into the air. My old one finally rusted through after many years, and this seems like it will be a good replacement for it.

This is great as a decorative peace, however not so good as a functional tea pot or humidifier. We use ours on our fire place insert as a humidifier when the fire place is going. It rusted out rather quickly even before I refilled it a sencond time. Buy with caution! I will be replacing mine with a copper or stainless still tea kettle soon.

I received this product a week or so ago, and I am very satisfied with it. That is because I purchased it for the purpose it was made for. As a humidifying steamer pot for your wood stove top! Not as a teapot for brewing tea... So I don't really care if minerals deposit on the inside, or if it even rusts a little! Because it is serving the purpose it was designed for. I'm sure I might have even been able to avoid the rust if I decided to season it with some oil, but I had no intention of cooking anything in it... If you are looking for a teapot to brew tea in, I suggest you buy a teapot designed for that. Buy this one if you want to put it on your wood stove, and add a little moisture to the air. Besides, look at the price! It is one of the cheapest of it's kind out there, and it really has a lot of weight to it, which makes it nice and sturdy. Just saying...

I picked this thermometer since the picture shows that it has hash marks around the entire face allowing a pretty accurate read of the temperature no matter where it is. Instead, I received a thermometer that only has two labeled temperature points: at 235*F and 475*F :-| I received the same model number as advertised. The contents are just different.

Two stars since it still works just fine, but I wanted more delineation on the pointer. I can extrapolate the temperature, but I shouldn't have too.

This woodstove pipe thermometer is almost exactly like the one it replaced (also by Condar) which finally broke after 19 years. Hope this one lasts as long. It was the best priced of all thermometers I looked at. Easy to see temperature ranges marked "best operation", "too hot", etc.

The thermometer is obviously of cheap quality and DOES NOT HAVE ANY DISCERNIBLE TEMPERATURE MARKINGS, so its basically useless as a thermometer.

Honest reviews on WoodSaver Stove Pipe Thermometer Model 3-16

If you were buying this specifically for the incremental numbering (as pictured), be advised that the actual product has a gray zone that indicates best operation, but you will not get a specific temperature read. It obviously works in the sense that you can still keep an optimal operating temperature, but some of us geeks like hard data, down to the degree. Otherwise, seems like a great product.

Wow this thing really cranks out some serious heat. It uses less energy than most ceramic heaters and is very stylish. I leave it on low and am wowed by its ability to heat a room up. The build quality is second to none. I love that it has a quality dust filter on back that will make for easy cleaning. My only complaint would be that the front grill get super hot making it difficult to pick up when it is on. If they made a little handle or recess in the back to help protect your fingers it would get 5 stars hands down!!!

Best Deals for Crane EE-6490 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt

I bought this little guy because it was the same price as similarly specced machines, and it had the lowest wattage setting of them all (600W/1200W on LOW/HI respectively).

Pros:

It heats my little 10x10 bedroom super fast. Because it is a lower wattage, I do have it plugged into an extension cord, and have not noticed any weird behavior. Both the heater plug and extension cord plug are cool to the touch after two hours of running the machine, which is about all I ever run it for anyway. The back, sides and bottom of the machine also say cool to the touch (at least on the low setting), which puts me at ease having is only 1ft from the wall in a corner of my little room. It is also quiet enough that I can watch TV and listen to music at pretty conservative volumes (I have roommates and like to watch TV in bed at night w/ this heater running).

Cons:

I was just looking at the unit and noticed the sticker on the bottom says the wattage is 800W/1200W... which is an extra 200W on the lower setting than advertised on both the box and on the site. This is a little disappointing, but not a total deal breaker. Also, the unit does not have any safety features (that I can see). It does not have tip-over protection, which leads me to believe it probably doesn't ahve overheat protection either... I can't be sure on this, but a quick skim of the brochure it came with didn't really tell me much.

Over, a decent heater if you don't plan to leave it running all the time while unattended; and if the 800W low setting isn't a deal breaker. It would be nice if that spec was changed on both the box and the site.

Honest reviews on Crane EE-6490 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt

Amazon carries another heater by the same maker as this one, it is the "Crane EE-6353 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt". The Product Features and Details seem to be switched on these two. At least this is my assumption; check them both out and you will probably agree.

For instance, the larger one is probably the one that is 20" tall, and the smaller one 8.6" tall. Another important difference: the smaller one probably does not come with a remote, but the larger one probably does.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Crane EE-6490 Space Heater 600/1200 Watt

This is a 800/1200 watt unit not 600/1200 if it matters to anyone. It is 8" high by 3.25" deep by about 6.75" wide. The picture and model number are now correct on Amazon. No, it does not have a remote.

Someone posted that this unit has tip-protection, but it does not (I just tried it). Disconcerting, but i'll live with it. If anyone is wondering, as it was a selling point for me, the construction is mostly metal (case & grate at least, impressive in a sea of plastic heaters), and the case does not get hot despite the warning sticker on top of the unit.

I am pleased with the performance, even though I'm downgrading from a Pelonis 4-ceramic-disk heater (It was my parents', I moved out, it stayed), and upgrading from a temporary [crappy] Lasko 'milk-house' style heater Wally World special. I wanted to get a Pelonis, but the company seems to barely acknowledge it's existence anymore and I didn't want to drop down 70 Washingtons for it. While the Pelonis is still superior to this unit, I think this little Crane comes pretty close, and I'll echo other reviews here for quiet operation and for heating up a 10x10 room pretty well. I suspect the only reason the Pelonis seemed to work better was due to more infrared heat put out of the unit and more air forced through the heating element (same fan size, but higher speed, your trade-off is loudness though).

Keep in mind that the vast majority of 'ceramic' heaters, including this one, don't use perforated ceramic plates, the kind used in the Pelonis and good infrared saunas (I have one, the plates in the heating units are similar to the Pelonis disks). To be honest, I don't even see where the 'ceramic' part comes into play with the Crane, it just looks like a metal element. But again, it still heats well, and for less than 35 dollars, it's hard to beat when accounting for it's size.

Discount CO-Z Fire -6 QTS Pure, Safe, Eco-Friendly Bio-Ethanol Fireplace Fuel

CO-Z Fire -6 QTS Pure, Safe, Eco-Friendly Bio-Ethanol Fireplace Fuel
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
A while ago I purchased a ceramic "fire-pot" at Plough and Hearth along with the recommended "gel fuel". The pot holds a metal "cup" into which the fuel is poured and comes with a metal "snuffer" -a lid that will quickly extinguish the flame.

Subsequently, I was unable to find the isopropyl alcohol-based "gel fuel" for sale through any vendor. With some trepidation I ordered the CO-Z Fire product. On first use, I noticed that it was less viscous than the original gel fuel. However, it burns for about the same length of time as the original product with excellent effect. The fuel reservoir in this pot is not large so the flame generally lasts about an hour. Furthermore, when the CO-Z Fire flame finally burns out it doesn't leave any odor while the original fuel often produced a lingering chemical smell. This product has made useful again the fire pot that I was beginning to think was no longer useful for want of a suitable fuel.

The only consideration might be the reduced viscosity of this product compared with the original fuel should the pot (or other portable fireplace) be accidentally knocked over. Such an event can be prevented by awareness and careful placement of the fireplace when in use.

Overall, I'm delighted with having found this product.

This is a thinner, less viscous product than the gel we used to be able to find, but it burns just as well and seems to last about as long. I would give it 5 stars, but I prefer the thicker gel since it won't flow anywhere in the event a pot gets knocked over.

We purchased a smokeless fireplace which requires the Bio-Ethanol fuel. It's not supposed to give off fumes, but there are slight fumes. I'm also surprised by how quickly it burns up. If you leave any in the fire pit with plans to use it at a later time, you'll come back to find that it's evaporated (even the same day). Othere than that, it gets the job done.

This fuel works great with our tabletop fire feature. When the initial shipment arrived, fuel had leaked into the plastic bag protecting the bottles. When I contacted the seller to report this, I requested one extra bottle of fuel because this is the amount I estimated had been lost. They contacted me immediately, apologized, and sent me an entire new 6-pack of upgraded fuel, which arrived right away.

This isn't the greatest log loop, but it does the job. I have completely loaded it several times with heavy oak and it hasn't bent, broken, or came loose. It has a matte black finish, is made of tubular steel. The loop part is made of 3 separate arcs that are bolted together to form the circles. The screw holes coincide with where the two loops touch at the top and connect with the legs at the bottom, so there are minimal screw holes. What with the narrow tubing and screws it isn't as nice as a welded unit, but it had free shipping, came in a box, and had a great price.

Bottom line -it is a good price, sturdy and function, but not the most attractive. All things considered and knowing what I now know I would still buy it.

I spent over two hours trying to assemble this rack but eventually gave up in frustration. The assembly instructions were as clear as mud. An engineer friend looked at it and had it assembled in 10 minutes without even looking at the instructions. It turns out that there is a very critical step not mentioned in the instructions. Believe it or not, there is a right way and wrong way to connect the 2 hoops. The hoops are formed from 3 pieces and so there are 3 screw holes and 3 joints in each finished hoop. When joining the two hoops together YOU MUST ALIGN THE 2 SCREW HOLES AND THE 2 JOINTS. I had aligned the screw holes to join the hoops but had not aligned the joints, so nothing lined up after that and construction was impossible. Now that it has been constructed it functions very well and is very strong. I gave the product 5 stars to redress the imbalance caused by people who dissed the product because of their frustration with the assembly instructions. This is a product review not an assembly instructions review.The product is good and should not be downgraded because the assembly instructions are a challenge to some of us. I can't for the life of me understand why the naysayers who threw the thing in the trash spent their time venting their spleen on an Amazon review when all they had to do was email Panacea products and ask for help which is what I was going to do before my engineer friend solved the problem. The manufacturer and Amazon should take steps to ensure that proper assembly instructions are provided for this product.

I purchased this log hoop because my parents were getting rid of their wood since they decided to convert to a gas fireplace. I decided to get a firepit and make use of their wood, so I needed a place to store it all. It was a bit of a pain to put together because the hoops did not line up right, so my husband had to help me. All in all, the price was reasonable and it does the job, so I would recommend it.

Honest reviews on Panacea 15209 40-Inch Tubular Steel Log Hoop

While the product in the photograph has a simple and attractive base, the product as delivered has a completely different design for the base piece. As other reviewers have mentioned, the product is basically impossible to assemble without either a drill to make your own holes or the strength of a giant to bend the existing bars to fit. It seems I will have to follow the lead of another reviewer who simply left the final screw out. I would never have imagined it was necessary to read the reviews before purchasing such a simple product.

Not a big deal to me, what annoyed me is that the 2 U shaped legs were missing all of the predrilled holes to assemble the product. I think im going to drill them myself to avoid the hassel of returning and exchanging the product. As far as assembly goes its really not hard at all. I dont know what these other reviewers exepect but there are 10 parts and its a very simple design so im not sure why people are having so much trouble putting it together.

I'm an experienced installer, with 11 years in the industry.

Fortunately this product was purchased for my own home. If I had to bill one of my clients for installing a defective product, the time and money spent would have been substantially greater.

1) Due to the design of the center clips that hold up the bar, it is impossible to overlap the screens in the center, let alone have them meet in the middle.

2) The instructions are confusing, and what photos there are, are to small to decipher what is being described.

3) The 'cool touch' screen pulls were missing.

4) The screen did not fit the 30" high opening. They were too long, even thought the package stated it was for a 30" opening. It is recommended that you "bend the hangar tabs back, to raise the screen". Not only did this crude adjustment not raise them as much as it said it would, if it did, the screen would bind as it is being scraped along the underside of the valance.

5) The telescoping valance is made from flimsy sheet metal that will wound you if you are not careful. The notch formed by the seams make it look cheap and one size fits all.

I hope that I have saved someone the time and frustration of dealing with this product.
