Discount Cougar Quiet Ash Vacuum - Winter Scene

Customer Ratings:

I bought this Cougar to clean the pellet stove and to remove the abundant ashes. I was a little hesitant to use it indoors because the ash is so fine and I didn't want to have that dust around the house but my fears were erased when I flipped the on switch.

It's no louder than your ordinary shop vac, but this filter is so effective there wasn't a speck of dust, nor was there a speck the second, third, fourth or fifth time!

The manufacturers put a metal "Bag puncher" on the top so you can beat out the ashes in the filter without creating a mess. You can buy attachments for the Cougar (I did wish it had at least a brush attachment) but I've used it successfully without any. The tip of the vacuum hose is made of (I want to say Steel) hard metal so you can scrape and cajole the sediment right into the fire-proof canister.

Couldn't imagine cleaning my stove with any other product!!

The Dimplex Lincoln Bronze Feestanding Electric Stove is really nice. It shipped on time, no assembly required, no problems. Just plugged it in and turned it on. I love the bronze color. It does produce a warm heat for a small room, as advertised. Ours is outside on an enclosed porch. We are in Florida and on a cool night (50 degrees) it helps get the chill out of the air. I especially like the sturdiness and the realistic flames. The door opens and it looks real but is cool to the touch ... good for our granddaughter. Also, a plus, is you can choose heat or no heat with the flame. We got it on sale for $150 and the shipping was an additional $65. Still, it is hundreds less than at our local hardware store ...$400+. We have no complaints. As a matter of fact, I was looking to buy another one because my mother and father fell in love with it over the holidays, but it is now over $220 on amazon ... plus shipping. So, I am shopping around or waiting for this to go on sale again. Only one suggestion ... measure your area and look at the size of this. It is not big. I was hoping for a larger unit and just didn't take time to look carefully at the dimensions.

Honest reviews on Dimplex North America DS5629BR Traditional Electric Stove, Bronze

We bought this stove for supplemental heat in our sun room. It is a nice looking stove, and it worked fine for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped generating heat. The owners manual states that if the unit overheats, it will shut down, and to reset the stove by turning it off for 5 minutes and turn it back on. If the problem persists, call Dimplex Customer Service. I don't see how it could have overheated, but I tried that and it didn't work.

The problem is Customer Service is only open 8:00 to 4:30 EST, Monday thru Friday, and when you call you get put on hold for the "next available technical service representative". I was on hold for over an hour twice and never got closer than caller number 11. The number went down by one about every 10 minutes. So either no one is answering the phone and the number went down as others in front of me gave up, or they are woefully understaffed.

I understand that problems happen. That's okay if the company stands behind their product and makes it right. It's obvious that customer service is not a priority at Dimplex. If that's important to you, I would not recommend buying any Dimplex product.

The log loop holds a good amount of wood. it is a little shaky at first until about 25% of the wood has been filled in and then is solid. I recommend this product over the hollow tubing version as it is more sturdy and doesn't require any extensive assembly. I use this for a small to medium sized wood burning stove and get about 1.5 to 2 days of wood when completely filled.

Holds a good amount of wood, but not as strong as I'd hoped. Once the wood is loaded in, it's good, but a little shaky until stabilized with the logs.

Received this item as promised yesterday. Packaging was all beat up. FedEx sticker on the outside said the item had been "repackaged." I think that means FedEx had to re-tape the box together. The product on the inside was in OK condition. However, there were no assembly instructions and no receipt. I don't know if those got lost in the repackaging or were missing from the original packaging.

There is only one piece to assemble the cross bar that goes across the bottom of the hoops (I think) that keeps the hoops spread apart and provides some stability. There are no screws or screw holes so I guess it just "snaps" into place. However, the diameter of the hoops is slight greater than the u-shaped notches at each end of the cross piece. I'm trying to figure out whether to hammer the cross piece into place or try and use pliers to force it over the hoops. If anyone has a suggestion for assembly, I would appreciate your advice.

I've ordered many things from Amazon over the years. This is the first time I've ever received something in less than perfect packaging and without assembly instructions or a receipt. I hope this is an anamoly and not the start of a new trend.

Reviews of HomArt Large Decorative Insects Bee Matches

Customer Ratings:

These are beautiful matches however BEE warned on some of the match boxes they put the price/information sticker right on the design and it is impossible to get off without ruining it! It was very frustrating as I bought a bunch of them for Christmas gifts (at a pretty hefty price!) and 4 out of 6 boxes had the sticker, with price, on the design. I was very dissatisfied.

The Republic of Tea, Dream By The Fire Herb Tea, 36-Count Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I recieved this tea in the mail, and at first I was a bit skeptical about this tea since I had a rooibos tea before that was pretty yucky. Well, I was wrong! This tea is quite tasty. It's perfect for that winter night by the fire. I added a splash of milk to it and sweetened it with German Rock Sugar (do get some at Teavana!), and it was the perfect cuppa for this frigid weather.

I shall definitely buy this tea! My only qualm: It doesn't come in loose leaf :(

Cheap Fire Sense Vernon Electric Fireplace Stove

List Price: $129.99
Sale Price: $113.25

This heater has two settings, but the low is about the same heat as a hair dryer. The higher setting is, well, like two hair dryers. The switches are on the top left side so they are easy to get to and don't show much. The product description said it had a thermostat and a remote. It does not. I have used it in a 9 x 12 room as back up heat when I turn the house furnace down and I have been comfortable. But the thing about this heater is, it really is so cute you may be tempted to forgive it for it's heat output. You may even want to carry it from room to room, which is what I did. But it wasn't easy. It is pretty heavy for me. It is a flat black metal and a pretty old fashioned design, an arched wheat design, with very realistic flame and glowing coals (even when I replaced the 2 to watt candelabra bulbs with 15 watt bulbs to save electricity.) The weather was so dismal here lately in Colorado, I took it into the living room just to enjoy the fireplace and ended up dragging it in front of the couch and warming my feet with it.

It came in a badly damaged box with a broken leg, which I repaired with JB Weld instead of returning. UPS beat it up, but it did not have adequate packing to begin with. After getting a second electric stove of a different brand, I would say the Vernon was overpriced.

Post Script. I have been using this heater throughout the winter. I suspect it is quite the energy hog. It has tripped my breaker more than once. It would probably be more effective in a very small room, but it does take the chill off the above mentioned room.

I think it will make a very pretty end table with a plant on top of it.

The 3-D Electric Fireplace has been around a couple of years now, but the cost was still fairly high. Now, it has come down to just at $100. The 3-D flame has improved vastly over the earlier drum-light type to the point that it's hard to tell if it is real or not. I bought mine through Amazon.com, and was pleasantly surprised too, at the low shipping costs!

If there is a drawback, it would be that I will have to add my own stovepipe if I want authenticity, but that isn't a real big problem.

I am very, very happy with my purchase!

Best Deals for Fire Sense Vernon Electric Fireplace Stove

For many years, I have had a fireplace to add enjoyment to our ND snowy winters---1st, a wood burner, and then a gas fireplace. The woodstove was the real deal, along with messiness and work. The gas(with a remote) was the best---in my opinion--no fuss and yet a real fire. Recently, I moved into a small apartment, without any fireplace. I went looking for the feeling of cozy, a 'pretend' fire, and found it in my new Vernon Electric Stove. The 'logs' shine more than glow, but the dancing 'fire' met my expectations in an electric stove at this price--it gave me cute and cozy, exactly what I wanted. The weather has been too warm to review how it heats, but I turned on the fan and it does blow out heat, so I am sure it will give me the extra heat where I want it.

Honest reviews on Fire Sense Vernon Electric Fireplace Stove

my friend was going on and on about her new heater and I wondered how anyone could get that excited over an appliance. When I saw it I knew I must have one and as I live far out of the city I ordered on Amazon to be delivered. When the package came I heard some slight rattling in the box, and was very disappointed that it made a constant clicking clunking noise when operating. It worked well, put out great heat at lowest setting and was gorgeous. I remembered I had read reviews that another brand made noise so I specifically order this brand instead.( I took the noise to be just a normal part of the mechanism) I went back online and found a review ( of another similar brand)that referred to the same noise and the guy said he opened it up and the rotating rod was just off its mount. SO I bravely unscewed ( about a dozen screws)the back ( Firesense customer support was available),and it was a simple matter to put the rod back in its place and it works great with only the low fan sound. Im writing this for anyone who may have this experience and save them the trouble of sending it back or returning a great product unecessarily.

Review of 2x4basics 90144 Firewood Rack System, Black

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $16.99
Sale Price: $14.98
Today's Bonus: 12% Off

Just made the 90144 rack with a shelf. I wanted an 8 ft. rack, and felt this would provide a sturdier result than just using unsupported uprights. The two kits were only $20, plus 8 pressure treated 2x4s. I did add 8 Simpson metal braces between the base and the uprights, which improved stability. The rack is very solid, and in my opinion, a good product. That being said, my favorite rack is the Woodhaven. I have several, varying from 5' to 12'. If money is no object, they are definitely more solid, and I highly recommend them. However, I need several more racks, and money is definitely a factor in my case. It took a little longer to assemble the 2x4 Basics rack, but it turned out fine. I have also used another plastic rack, but do feel this one is sturdier. For me the low price, relative ease of assembly, and very good result merited the four star rating. It actually took me nearly as long to assemble the Woodhavens, and considerably more $$. Maybe I should have titled this "2x4 Basics, the one to buy when you're having more than one."

I ordered two kits for this wood rack specifically because of the low maintenance I did switch out the screws included in the package for outdoor deck screws to reduce the risk of rust further. I like the fact that I can construct it to any size I want or need and (other than the screws) it's made completely of sturdy plastic and pressure treated lumber. I created a double decker (using the two kits), but kept it at 4 feet tall (required 10 pressure treated 2x4's) and included a second center beam across each deck even though the instructions called for only one. There are preset screw holes to allow for four 2x4's across each level and that adds to the rigidity of the rack when under a load.

One thing I do have to say is if you're planning on building your rack fairly wide (e.g. 8 feet or so), then order one extra kit. When loading the rack you do notice that the center of the lower shelf does sag if it's not supported. An extra kit would give you one more support to add in the center of the bottom shelf (where most all the load is) to eliminate that sagging. At this point I'm just going to place a brick or two under the center of the rack to raise it up to level (instead of ordering another kit, unstacking the wood, tearing it down, and adding an additional brace). Had I known it would sag this much, I would have planned ahead and ordered a third kit in advance.

I bought two kits to make a 4' high by 8' wide rack, to hold about a third of a cord of wood. It's very easy and fairly economical to make the rack, but the big problem is that once it's loaded with firewood, the whole thing sags in the middle under the weight. It's the 2x4s that are sagging, not this product itself, but it's sold as a solution to make a rack of this size so I expected it to work. Now I have to come up with a solution to lift the middle of the rack and I'll probably have to remove all of the wood before I can modify the rack. I'd say this is a better solution for a 4 foot wide rack.

Honest reviews on 2x4basics 90144 Firewood Rack System, Black

If you have *never* built anything before, this is a good starter project. Basically, you drive screws into predrilled holes and make cuts according to the instructions. Done and done. I made three of these a year ago. After a year, this is my report.

1) Filling these racks with a face cord of wood will sag the centers; 2x4s do not have the rigidity to withstand this weight for long. Be smart and place bricks or stone under the centers.

2) The weight of a face cord will force the sides apart, and the recommended screws won't cut it. The pressure will be lateral from the top, down, so buy a 5/16" long drill bit, four 6" 5/16" galvanized bolts, four 5/16" galvanized washers and nuts. Drive in the screws as directed, but then drill a center hole through the top joins, and bolt it so the extra bolt material faces inside the rack. This significantly strengthens it for a year. I did this for a repair and it's easily the best method for the money.

3) Paint your lumber after making the cuts. Your wood rack will be exposed to the elements, and if you do not want to keep building these every two-three years, treat your lumber. Paint is a cheap solution for this. You can maybe get five-eight years now, instead of three-five.

4) Once you see the effect the plastic forms have, and the role they play, you can probably build a rack on your own using metal brackets or just wood with bolts. Keep in mind that wood on ground leads to rot, so think about how you're going to get the rack off the ground. Bricks are a fine idea, so are cheap patio pavers.

5) Get used to spiders and termites finding your wood. Knock wood before bringing it to your fireplace. That cracking and popping in the fire? Insects.

This rack system does make the job of building a firewood rack a bit easier, but it has some drawbacks. It's super simple to put together cut 2x4s to the right length, screw the base 2x4s (3 of them) to the brackets and then stick in the vertical pieces. Easy, huh? Well, the main problem I found is that the holes for the vertical 2x4s are a tad too big, so they wobble around and lean to the side. I used treated 2x4s that are slightly bigger than non-treated, but they still wobbled. The one screw they supply to hold a vertical in place just doesn't do the trick. Instead I went to my nearby hardware store and got some 90-degree corner braces which I screwed to both the base 2x4s and the verticals. That helped a lot. Not sure if I would buy this system again. But it did help me build an odd-sized rack that fits the space I have perfectly.
