We bought this form a local hardware store chain Menards $99.99 every day price.

ours is black, which we like because so is our iron deck furniture. so it matches nicely.

it looks good sitting on the deck. up close, when putting it together, you see some flaws. little nicks here and there, the weld where the side meats the bottom. also the protective loop does not align very well. I got picky and spent a lot of time bending it here and there to make it fit tight and flush. had to do the same with the spark screen thing too. as it was so out of round, it woudl not fit on at first.

One thing, at the end of the instructions, just when you are getting excited to fire it up, they tell you to add 5lbs of sand to the bottom. the reason being, to help insulated the surface below(grass, deck, etc) from the heat, and to keep the ash form corroding the bottom of the fire pit. DARN! I wish it said make sure to buy 5lbs of sand while I was buying it at the store! now I got to go get sand.

also, do not leave it in the rain, do not allow it to fill with water as it may shorten its life corrosion again. I think they need to anodize these things! so make sure you cover it, or put it away, out of the rain.

nice thing, it has a nice grill, as in you can use it to cook on with the supplied grill rack. Nice! and it also has a spark screen and a poker/handle to remove a hot screen with. a lot of fire pits do not include them.

I settled on this Landmann Big Sky Fire Pit based on looks and due to many great reviews. To all of you that took the time to review, thank you!

This is my first fire pit for family use.

Pros

1) All needed accessories included (minus consumables such as sand and logs)

2) Beautiful appearance

3) Grill rack is actually functional

4) Rail protects burning from bumping against it, which is likely will happen eventually specially with kids roasting marshmallows. The sides do get hot so be careful.

5) The rails function as a handle to manipulate during cleaning

Cons

1) The pieces that make up the protective rail did not fit properly. Attached to each other made almost a circle, but not quite (symmetrical) and after much trial an error ended up wrestling to line up the screw holes.

2) The legs were not painted on the inside making them prone to rust

3) The paint on the inside bottom came off exposing the base metal after just the first use. I used plenty of play sand and only three logs leading me to believe the paint is not heat resistant; I did paint the interior with heat-resistant paint as another reviewer advised, but on top of the original; save a trip to the hardware store and get that quart can of paint rather than the spray can.

The family and I enjoyed it and definitely recommend to anyone in suburbia that wants to spend some time together around a fire.

After all the amazing reviews for this thing, I gladly bought it and couldn't wait to use it for the first time. Well, after just 1 fire, I went to clean it up in the morning and to my surprise the Georgia Clay finish is peeling all over the stars and moons. It's completely flaking off! Not everywhere, but apparently one spot that didn't get good "heat resistant" paint coverage.

Disappointed and upset, I took a photo and went to Landmann's website for an email or phone number. I found an email and sent the details of my purchase from Amazon and the photo of the flaking paint. Here is their exact response. "All of the fire pits will peel after use, the paint is a heat resistant paint but no paint will hold up to the heat of a fire. The only thing you could do is sand off the area and repaint it with a heat resistant paint. Again this will not last when this is used."

SO BE WARNED, THEY SAY THE PAINT WILL NOT LAST. I replied and told them I realize nothing can withstand fire over a long period of time, but after 1 use?? Come on. I'll submit my photo on Amazon for all to see.

If you dont care about the paint, then it's a nice firepit that is a little hard to fit together during assembly, but other than that, serves its purpose of containing a fire.

UPDATE: The customer service department informed me that their "paint is good to 1000 degrees." So I went to Autozone and bought "Rust-Oleum 248903 Automotive 12-Ounce High Heat 2000 Degree Spray Paint, Flat Black" to coat the firepit. This should be the standard paint they use to begin with. Oh well, at least future buyers who read this will know!

Honest reviews on Landmann Big Sky Stars & Moons Fire Pit, Georgia Clay

I love this fire pit.It holds lots of logs.The rustic design fits nicely in my wooded setting. .It gives the feeling of a real camp fire.I love the celestial cut outs.I have a portable charcoal grill that I set into the pit when I want to cook a small amount.When cooking is done I dump the charcoal into the pit,add kindling and logs and enjoy toasting marshmellows around the "camp fire".

GREAT FUN.

Shopped a long time for this one. Wanted more pit than the copper bowls had to offer. Plus came with grill, cover and handy fire tool. Nice deal, easy to assemble.

I have an odd-sized fireplace and found that many of the candelabras were too wide or too long. Since this works like an accordian, I can customize the size to fit perfectly. It was easy to assemble too.

This candle stand is very solid and the design is great for variable spaces. Sturdy and easy to assemble. I recommend this item. My only complaint is that a couple of the candle stands did not screw in perfectly... still works, but minor quality issues.

Well packed and promptly shipped. This is a quality product.

My fireplace is small! Candles were too high up so I took the hacksaw and cut the feet off the tallest ones. It still stands due to the accordion design (yay).

Also, like another review said, candles are hard to put on. I used a drill to make the holes first..much better!

Thirdly, added glass bead/blobs on top of some foil and my unsafe fireplace is a joy!

I bought these because I have about six funky patterned tile in my bathroom that I need to replace, but I'm not ready to spend a ton of money tearing apart the whole bathroom yet. I wanted to try something that someone recommended. I like them a lot. They are static clings, not stickers like I thought. You just wet the tile and stick them to it.

My only complaint is that it says you can cover existing patterns, but if your pattern is very dark you can still see through it. It looks great on my white tile, but doesn't quite cover all of the patterned tile I wanted to replace.

When I looked into remodeling my bathroom to give it an updated look, which was all white 6" x 6" tiles, I priced out different decorative ceramic and marble tiles and it was going to be expensive to replace these.

I found this product and decided to give it a try because it does not require gutting and tearing out my old tiles and seemed like it would be much easier and less expensive. I received and tried the Decotile and they look really cool after applied, are easy to install and seem to be very durable. I will be ordering more to finish my bathroom.

Thanks for a great easy solution.

I bought a house last year and in the kitchen there are these few scattered decorative tiles throughout the kitchen. They are extremely old fashioned (white flower cluster design) and I hate them. We do not have the money to get a new kitchen for a while. I looked all over for something to cover it up. I even tried buying stencils with tile paint....so did not work. I finally came across these....LOVE IT!! I wish they came in more designs, colors and patterns but this is better than nothing. Even my husband (who doesn't care about any of that stuff) said that they looked great.

Please make more sizes, colors and designs!! I would love to get some for my bathroom too!!

Honest reviews on DecoTile Removable, Replacable Decorative Decals for Tile, Mirror

I applied these in a pattern to a row of the tiles in my shower. Application couldn't have been easier. It was exactly as described on the package. You just spray the surface with water, stick the decal on, and smooth it out. I didn't have a squeegee or a sponge, but I used a spatula from my kitchen and it worked perfectly! They look beautiful. My family says you can tell they're decals not the actual tile, but I don't care. It looks MUCH better than before to me.

I bought these to add some spice to our fireplace-and loved the fact that they "claimed" to need no glue or anything to stick to the wall. The pattern is beautiful and I followed the directions only to wake up the next morning and find all the tile stickers in the floor. So, I re-applied them and the next day, woke up to find the same thing! They just didn't stick on their own, so I had to use glue. Don't buy these if you're not willing to put up with them-they are a pain!

Arrived with one leg broken off at the bottom. The inside box (not the box Amazon put it in) was very damaged. Pieces of the set were poking through. The box was battered and just a mess. Amazon was great with the return. I ordered another one from a different vendor. That box also was pretty battered but the piece wasn't broken. The welds are horrible, so I'm expecting this piece to rust after it sits out in the rain a time or two (bought this for an outdoor fireplace), but it's new so I can't confirm that. Other than the bad weld job, the set is quite heavy and nice to look at. We've used it once so far. It worked as it should.

Seems to be solid and well made. Not as heavy as cast iron, but then again it's not cast iron. Much better than the cheap set available.

I bought this tool set thinking that, because it was stainless steel, it would not rust. Even keeping it covered, it does rust. It would be good for indoors, but it looks pretty bad even only after a month.

Exactly what I was looking for to put in our brick fire pit. Reasonable price and free shipping made it a great value. Received in less time than anticipated. I highly recommend this product and seller.

Ordered this item and it arrived quickly via FedEx. Box was twice the size necessary with minimal interior padding. Looked as if it had been rolled down stairs repeatedly. Grate was cracked. Returned for replacement. Return was picked up promptly by UPS. Replacement arrived promptly this time via UPS. Box was collapsed on one end and looked as if it had been rolled under a moving vehicle that was driving down stairs. Interior box was a good idea except it was loose in the larger box with little paper packing and had been perforated by the item tumbling about inside. This unit was actually broken in two pieces and I returned it for a refund after attempting to tape it back into something resembling a piñata shaped like a potato. For all I know, the grate may have been fine and given me years of good service. I will never know.

This set from Enclume is attractive and well made, however you don't receive what is shown in the photo. The tongs in the photo are a 3 prong style, made of square stock, just like the other tools. Enclume now ships a cheaper, 2 prong tool that is less effective at grasping logs. The new tongs are also made of flat stock and don't exactly match the other tools in the set. Enclume does not make a disclaimer about the tongs, even on their own website. "Tongs is tongs" was the explanation given me by the reseller.

Whether you are buying the set for appearance, functionality or both, you may be disappointed with what you receive.

I ordered this twice, and both times the grate I received was defective. The legs were uneven, which caused the grate to wobble when standing on a flat surface. When the first one came this way, I thought it was a problem with QC and returned it for a replacement. When the replacement had the exact same problem, I returned it for a refund and got one from a different manufacturer.

The grate wables. The floor in the fire place is level. The legs on the gate are almost 1/2" out of level. Dissapointed. Something else I have to fix. I could have purchased locally for same price or less and checked for levelness.

The grate arrived in two boxes and looked like it went through a war. When I opened the ripped boxes, a part of the grate had broken off and was wrapped in white paper and taped. The item description by the warehouse was" like new". I called amazon Customer Service and told them the problem. I explained that the boxes were so badly damaged that I could Not use them to return the item and suggested that I would have the broken piece welded back on locally. Customer Service issued me a $10 credit. Because I purchased the product at a discount I felt I could have it welded locally and save the outside packaging cost,[which would probably be conciderable] and Amazon the cost of returning the item and resending another one, which would be required, and still com out having saved something. Unfortunately I thought the cost of two tiny welds would cost me $ 25 at most, I was wrong.The welding cost me $50, and a lot of time finding a welder that would do the job and traveling to the welder in another town and a second trip to the welder to retrieve the item. I believe the SENDER did not bother to look inside the box the item was returned in because the inner box was obviously the one it was returnd in which had the returners lable and it was a box that was from a manufacturer of smokers with lables to the person who returned the grate. As Amazon Warehouse is a part of Amazon I believe this type of omission is not what Amazon would condone based on my fantastic experence with Amazon over the years.

Material is quite durable. The welded bond was not.

Discount Sierra-EasyFire 4001B1 Pellet Insert Heater w/Battery Back

Customer Ratings:

I bought one of these in 2008 did not even make it through the first season before issues that shut unit down. Very little help from factory. Finally got parts to get operable. Would run great when it ran, problem is it seldom ran. I agreed with factory to purchase another unit at a discounted price, continued to have problems with new unit and kept getting run around. Factory would send parts, would then work until next part broke. Have never made it through a season without unit in failure at least part of the season. Unit down for about 2.5 months during this heating season. Finally got part and put it in only to find several other issues with unit. After spending a considerable amount of money on unit and many hours attempting to make it run, I quit. Unit is going to the trash. I highly recommend that no one buy this product it is piece of garbage prone to break down and cause considerable frustration and many cold nights. I can not repeat enough times DO NOT BUY UNIT not even remotely worth the cost. I rated it one star only because the review would not accept comments without it.

I bought my EasyFire model 3801AF in 2008 and have used it since with very few problems.It has required one repair: broken weld on the feed disk, which with the factory customer service reps help was quickly replaced. I have added a battery backup to keep it running in case of power outages and has functioned perfectly in the 2 times that has happened. I keep a stock of some parts that I might need for repairs ( but have not neededyet) just in case--brushes for the 2 motors, a spare auger and feed motor gasket. Other than that I just keep it up as per the instruction. I can't explain why some are having trouble with their heaters but mine has worked well.

I purchased the Sierra Easy Fire Pellet Stove direct from Sierra Products about 4 years ago. So it may be an older model than the one they are selling here. The original feeder motor broke just after the warranty period had ended. I have purchased several since then. The feeder motors seem to always break just after the warranty period is over. I replaced one last year, the factory sent me the wrong one and after they finally sent me the right one it did not even last the season. They also sold me a repair kit to keep sawdust out of the motor, it fell part and did nothing. I am not purchasing any more parts for this stove. That is not the only problem with this stove and I would definitely recommend that you do your homework before buying any Sierra Easy Fire Wood pellet stove.

Honest reviews on Sierra-EasyFire 4001B1 Pellet Insert Heater w/Battery Back

Have had the stove for a few years now, first year was fine, second year had a fire in the back of the stove where the fan is due to saw dust dropping from the hopper into the back. Then the ignitor went out. Now the thing is having an issue where it will start and run fine for about 15mins or so then stop feeding the pellets. Cleaned everything really good and still doing it. Replaced the T1/T2 sensors and still seeing the issue. Is probably the main circuit board, but haven't replaced it yet since it's around $300. Wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't purchase another one. Plan to go solar and use electric heat eventually. :)

Purchased a Sierra Easy Fire 4001 Pellet insert in 2008. While the unit works fine when it works-the problem is it rarely works. From day one the ignitor would not work, the battery back up system stopped working. The motor brushes constantly need to be replaced and/or cleaned. Now in 5th season unit is malfunctioning and pellets do not feed correctly causing unit to shut down.I am constantly researching product support files to troubleshoot problems. Since I purchased unit online there is no local dealer for servicing. Company cannot/will not provide tech support to fix problems. Looked like a great and reliable product on line and on Sierras website but simply would not purchase this companys product again.
