We purchased the fire pit for use in the Southern Arizona High Desert. A major consideration is fire safety. The screened cover for the top is heavy, fits well, and keeps the sparks in the pit. The animals outlined on the side of the device are also totally screened. We have used the pit several times now with just my wife and I as well as to cook and roast marshmallows with visitors. The grill fits very well and food cooks quickly. We burn only mesquite wood, cut on our property. The pit drafts very well and I start the fire with just one wadded full sheet of newspaper. Charcoal lighter fluid is unnecessary. The fire burns well, the sparks stay behind the screens, and ash dust is all that remains after it burns out. The animal outlines on the sides of the pit are just beautiful in the darkness. The pit is large enough to provide a warm and beautiful fire without approaching its considerable capactiy. The poker that comes with the unit is heavy and works well. The pit itself comes almost totally assembled. Attaching the legs is the only thing required. When you want to move the unit, the rail around the top remains cool and makes it easy to reposition it.

My wife and I are very pleased with the firepit and highly recommend it.

This is a great product which has expanded the use of our backyard and created fun family time. There's nothing like roasting marshmallows to bring all ages together. I especially enjoy this design because the fire is completely contained. I'm confident in leaving the fire without dousing it with water.

Good size for small backyard fire.

Cut outs add to aesthetics.

Works well as a BBQ with a fairly large amount of charcoal. Small grilling jobs are better done on a smaller BBQ.

Fit and Finish is good but not excellent. The protective ring around the top does not line up cleanly leaving a small gap. Otherwise sturdy and well made.

I appreciate the added depth compared to what some other brands offer. Allows for a satisfying size fire.

I recommend this item.

**Updated! 4/14/13** Scroll to the bottom!

I have been looking for a good firepit now for the past few months and had Narrowed down from this model to another Landmann favorite the illustrious Landmann USA 28925 Ball of Fire Outdoor Fireplace.

The reason why I didn't choose the Ball of Fire is for one big reason, I didn't want to fork over 50 bucks more for what seems to me a very gimmicky/flimsy firepit. I mean sure it looks cool and all but I am looking for longevity and practicality. Cause lets face it not every homeowners association might fancy themselves with this item so close to other neighbors. Whereas this model seems more enclosed yet offers a very unique experience with the animal cut outs.

Lets get down to brass tax, this product is very well put together, the look and feel of it is heavy and is pretty much what you are looking for in terms of long term prospects. It took me maybe 15 to 20 minutes to get it fully setup. There was one cosmetic issue with mine preventing me from screwing in a section of the ring handle, but after man handling it, it went through with no issues.

I actually haven't taken this thing out yet for a spin as I just got the item today but I plan to use it in the next week as the weather improves. Once I do that I'll be sure to update this review and let you all know if it truly is worth a 5 star rating.

Also on a side note, and a pearl of wisdom. Buy yourself some Rust-Oleum 241169 High Heat Ultra Enamel Spray, Black, 12-Ounce. Put yourself a nice coat on everything to help prevent rust. Also invest in a Grill cover..a good one, not that cheap stuff that can't keep the rain out. Be sure to buy some regular play sand to put in the bottom of the bowl too, it will help ensure you have this thing for many years.

The reason I say these things is because the negative reviews I've been seeing from various users, is really on their part for not taking care of their pit. If you put in the effort to take care of something you will get more out of it. Hope this review helps you in your decision in purchasing this item. Any questions feel free to ask!

**After using the Firepit, I have to say the experience is well worth it. The animal cut outs were definitely a conversational piece and it just looks really nice, the spark arrestor did its job well and I just cannot wait to continue using this pit. Be sure to get that Rustolem and a pit cover!**

From the moment I opened the box I realized how well made this item is. Packaged neat and properly and all the pieces fit together perfectly. It is made from heavy sturdy material and my experience tells me it will last for many years. Cooked dinner on it the first night we got it and the grilling grate is a terrific bonus. Then added wood to the coals and enjoyed a long night of fire. The extra depth adds both a level of safety and it also helps tremendously with drafting to keep the fire going. The cut out allow tons of air to feed the fire. It is a nicely made, decent sized fire pit that was worth the money on the first time using it. I highly recommend!

Buy MEECO'S RED DEVIL 416 Gel Firestarter

Customer Ratings:

We like this product because it is just the right texture to cling to the kindling. A very small amount does the job. I give it 4 stars because the container clogs very easily. That can be a bit frustrating when you are tired and want to go to bed or are up at the crack of dawn and just want to warm the house. If the people at your house all remember to close the container carefully that won't be a problem for you.

Uniflame 4 Piece Black Wrought Iron Fireset Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $43.95
Sale Price: $36.27
Today's Bonus: 17% Off

Yes, this is functional and looks okay. But, you can get that for cheaper.

This is NOT entirely black wrought iron. Only the handles, poker point, and tool hanger are wrought iron, the rest is cheap black painted metal (of some variety). I bought this product over other, cheaper black painted metal sets because the description and title state wrought iron which is simply not the case.

The stand is held up straight with a single bolt at one end, so it's doomed by poor design to begin to lean over time. Also, the description says there is a log lifter included. There is not, only what you see in the picture.

Do yourself a favor, and get a different set.

I needed a small tool set to place near my gas fireplace. I wanted

to achieve the look of a traditional wood burning fireplace. By

adding a black fireplace basket and this log holder, the look I

wanted was achieved. The only reason for four and not five stars

is the brush. It is flimsy with too few bristles and looks cheap in

comparison to the rest of the set.

I ordered two of these cute sets for my son and my nephews and boy was I disappointed. It was NOT at all what was on the picture, nor on the label. It was supposed to be a Xmas tree, presents and fireplace (as pictured), but instead it was a Xmas tree, snowman and boy and girl. It still was cute, but not at all what was represented and certainly not worth the money. I expected more.

Seymour Fire Blox Firewood and Charcoal Starters Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I've been using these for many years and am now about to restock. A single 2x2 inch block will light a full sized log in my fireplace, so no need to have kindling or newspaper around. They don't flare up fast either, so you can light one, place it by hand on the fire grate, then pile logs over. Fire starts in 5 minutes or so. Very compact and inexpensive, unlike similar products in home improvement or fireplace stores. It took me a while to realize how perfectly they light charcoal in my chimney-style starter for the grill. These make good gifts too, for Christmas or as a house gift. A useful, inexpensive, practical product.

the blox work like magic! One small square is enough to get a fire to catch in our woodburning stove without messing around with kindling. Just stack a few logs strategically around/over one sq of blox, light the sq & you'll have a nice fire going in no time. Also great with charcoal for the grill if you don't want to use a chimney starter. No odors. No strange taste left on food--unlike lighter fluid. Very affordable.

These are great for starting fires in the fireplace. Just one and a little kindling usually does the trick. No need for newspapers. I occasionally use these for starting charcoal as well.

Honest reviews on Seymour Fire Blox Firewood and Charcoal Starters

I have been using this product for over 5 years to light fire in a relatively large wood burning BBQ smoker. I typically use only one square to start the wood burning. No fuel smell on food like with liquid starters or flying residue or smell from using wadded up paper. It's simple, fast and reliable. I usually order several boxes because I never want to be without the starter. They work well for starting charcoal fires in my grill or camp fires.

We have used these for years, for starting the charcoal grill as well as fires in the fireplace. I bought a case of them which finally ran out, and have just bought another case, which should last for years. We have a fire pit now, so I think we will use them there, too. They leave no bad taste on the food, they are made with all non toxic ingredients, and I really appreciate that, since I don't like using chemicals around my food. I have seen other products on the market, but have never bought any but these.

Canvas Log Carrier - Sage Reviews

First of all, I ordered this bag on Dec 13th and it came (regular delivery) on the 17th. I was happily surprised, because I had wanted it for the 18th.

The construction is great, but what I really like about it is the size and the end "caps". A lot of the log carriers that I saw were too short (15") or too long (36"). This one is 21". The end caps help to keep the bark contained. It was a gift to my brother-in-law and he loves it! (As does my sister, because it keeps the floors so much cleaner).

This log carrier has been used over and over. It has held up well. It is not too heavy but large enough to carry a lot of logs or kindling. After immediate use we just fold it up and put it away. A good value.

I have had some cloth log carriers in the past that didn't work as well. This is my first canvas carrier with sides and I love it. It is large enough and love the ends which contain the mess. The handles are well made too. I'd recommend this one to anyone in the market for one that is durable

I ordered this to replace my flat carrier that just wraps around the logs with no ends. My attempt was to keep my floor cleaner and acquire some lasting durability. This carrier appears to be very durable and would stand the test of time, but my problem with the design is it's just too small. The length is fine, but the width leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not a huge muscle bound guy by any means, but it's hard to justify making a trip to the wood pile to only get a few pieces. Not big pieces either. This would be a great bag for kindling. Not something to stock the log holder by the fire place.

Hope it helps

Cheap Snowflake Mantle Clip Stocking Holders - 4 Pack

Customer Ratings:

We just recently moved into a "new to us" home and inherited an atypical fireplace mantel. I was a bit concerned that these clips wouldn't fit (or any type of stocking hanger for that matter) but they do! Because of their ability to extend up to 3 inches, I was able to attach them on with no trouble! And, they have a protective surface on both sides so that there is no need to worry about scratching or dinging the mantel. Since we have yet to unpack our Christmas boxes, I hung what I had around....my big ol' purse! I was amazed that the clip could hold such a heavy item...guess we won't have to worry about Santa filling those stockings too full this year!

These look larger in the photo that they really are. I was concerned they may be too long to fit on our mantle but they're not. We have a concrete mantle that has a rough front edge so normal stocking hangers don't work. There's no way for them to sit flush. These are perfect. Can't wait to use them!

This electric log works for us. The light sort of slowly pulsates. It is a little too bright but we put some real wood around it and it is much better. The crackling noises are not realistic, but you don't have to turn them on. All in all, it looks nice in the fireplace behind the screens. It doesn't call attention to itself and people don't think anything about it, assuming there is a low hearth fire in the fireplace, unless they really look closely.

This product is as advertised, although you could be led to believe that you would get an affect of flames. All it does is glow from right to left. The sound is more like gun fire than crackling wood. It can and has been turned off. It consumes little or no power (less than 4W max) so it can be left on.

Over the years I have tried nearly every brand of disposable butane "candle" lighter on the market. On most,ignition is slow

and flame is paltry. While far from ideal, this red Coleman (now apparently discontinued) has been the best of a sorry lot. Maybe the new black version, which claims "jet-like" gas rush and wind resistance, will prove even better.

Very disappointed with this purchase ...the lighter is extremely difficult to use ...it is painful to try to deploy ...when and if it finally does light the flame is so tiny it barely lights a candle ...2 of the 4 I purchased do not work at all...save your money

Honest reviews on Disposable Butane Lighter 2-pack Red

One of the two has never worked at all. The other one works, but it is very hard to use because the trigger mechanism is so tight and it takes the gas so long to come out.

I had one of these before, a cheap version, that worked fine. I had thought the ones made by Coleman would be a step up, Unfortunately, they were a step down.

The seller was great -product arrived promptly.
