Dimplex CS1205 Compact Electric Stove

Some critter got under the house and detached our heating ducts a few years ago so we only use electric heat and ambient heat from other rooms in the livingroom. I was looking for a better space heater after an Econoheat panel shorted and melted while I slept.
The problem with most space heaters is they are UGLY. They look like they belong in a garage. I wanted something that looked like a piece of furniture that wouldn't set fire to my cats and that could heat up a big room with open doorways. I should also mention that I have a humor-based decorating style, so whether someone else will find it tacky or not is of no concern to me. I don't invite people without a sense of humor into my home.
Anyway, I went with this. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being an orange spotlight behind a fan blowing white bits of fabric around like some Halloween decorations, and 10 being a real fire, I'd give it a 7.5. It only looks like a real fire if you're not looking directly at it. The foily logs help a bit and it does have a slight 3D effect that makes it better than some, but even if you add a crackling fire mp3 and burn wood incense in the room no one is going to mistake it for a real fire.
That's not to say I don't like it. It does provide that hypnotizing effect you look for in a fireplace!
Additionally, it was 35 degrees F last night. I live in a farmhouse with 4 inch walls and cellulose insulation. I put it in my livingroom, which is approximately 500 sq feet, with an open doorway, 2 large windows, a sliding glass door, no basement, and an open stairway. It kept the room at 72 to 74 degrees all night.
It seems to be of sturdy construction. The top stays cool. The fan is very quiet. It's also light and portable. Overall I'm satisfied enough to get another one for my office.

This cast iron kettle is very sturdy and it looks great on our wood stove. Keeping it full of water while burning a fire to keep the house warm is a great way to keep moisture in the air. Before using this kettle, it became hard to breathe since my nose and throat would dry out. Now there are no worries!
I would recommend this kettle for anyone who uses a wood stove or burns a fire for household heat.

I was looking for this item locally but the stores did not have it.
This was ideal. It has a width of about 1.5 inches. The adhesive does stick to anything and that is what I wanted. The fiberglass wool strip does not fall apart and it a little more than an inch thick. I placed the strips of fiberglass wool on the fireplace metal
frame and pushed the frame with the doors onto the brick structure. I sealed the frame to the brick with high heat clear silicone sealer which was available online. It tolerates heat to 500 degrees. No smoke leaks out into the home. I also put in a new damper which I found at Amazon.com and it came in caste iron for the exact size of the original. It slipped into the slot in less than a minute and it has been working fine since weeks. As an after thought, I should mention that I bolted the frame back into the fireplace opening with the old bolts into the same holes. The silicone sealer was just for good measure and I do not like smoke coming into the house.

Average Reviews:

We bought the England's Stove Works 25-PDV pellet stove. If the stove worked properly, it would be a fantastic piece of machinery. Unfortunately, from the beginning, the stove has not worked smoothly. Have had blower issues, auger issues, constant noise, error messages, and consistent shutdowns. To those who claim that product and customer service fabulous, I say, "Wow!" Are you sure?? We've had nothing but heartache right from the beginning. The stove is cleaned and maintained daily to the utmost degree. You'd think the machinery was a Lamborghini instead of a pellet stove. Horrible, horrible, despicable product. So unreliable & problematic. Would never go near this company for endless reasons again. Should have done more homework. The company does not provide technical services (everything is your own out-of-pocket expense even if the parts are under warranty), 24 hour customer service is not available, and no weekend customer service at all. To think that Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace Hardware all carry this product... ONLY in America. Interested in reading more about England's Stove Works? Check out >>>>>>>

I smoke food outside in the summer but it too cold in the winter. I saw this Nordic smoker and thought it was a good idea. It worked very well on fish, nice smokey flavor.

Reston Lloyd Rectangular Stove Burner Covers, Set of 2, Black Review

Reston Lloyd Rectangular Stove Burner Covers, Set of 2, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are pretty flimsy. When they are not laying flat they bend. When they are on your flat stove they are fine and look nice. They do scratch pretty easily though. I bought these because I have a pretty small kitchen with limited counter space and thought having burner covers would extend my counter space just a bit. The first time I put something on them, afterward I noticed small scratches. Nothing major, the color remained intact, but I was still bummed to see the scratches so soon. They are easy to clean because you can just wipe them off like you do your stove, but streaks stand out like crazy so I had to go over them a couple times with a really, really clean sponge to get the streaks off and then again once with a dry paper towel to sort of buff them. Knowing what I know now, I would look for a more solid quality burner cover with a matte finish instead. But for the most part, I can't complain.

Rutland Inc Gasket Kit Tape 7'X5/8 95-6
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used this kit to replace the factory seal on my large Big Green Egg ceramic smoker/griller. I acheived a good seal by installing this gasket tape on the base of the egg only. The tape is a little long so you can bunch it up as you glue it down. This makes the seal thicker and able to cover any high or low spots where the lid meets the base. This fiberglass gasket seems more tolerant of the high heat encountered while searing steaks than the original felt seal. It is "eggcellent!"

Lodge Cast Iron Scrubber Brush Review

Lodge Cast Iron Scrubber Brush
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned 3 of these brushes in the past month. I wash all wood by hand, dry immediately and never allow the wood to sit in water. Still, the wood is a cheap brittle wood which soaks up water, expands and contracts and cracks--then the bristles fall out. One came cracked and the other two cracked after just a few uses. I went back to using my Rubbermaid brush designed similarly but with a plastic handle. I have owned other Rubbermaid brushes which have lasted 10 years so far. I have contacted the Lodge company about this brush. Lodge is a great company with EXCELLENT products. This product could lead some to a negative impression if they are not familiar with the usual outstanding quality of Lodge. I'm just surprised--almost stunned by how awful this brush is!

Vermont Castings Black Griddle Stove Gasket - Rope Gasket Packet Review

Vermont Castings Black Griddle Stove Gasket - Rope Gasket Packet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two Vermont Castings stoves. A couple months ago I ordered a gasket kit manufactured by Vermont Castings. I was impressed with the metal wrapped griddle gasket. For the second stove I only needed a griddle gasket so I bought this product. It appears to be manufactured by a third party, not Vermont Castings, and the difference in quality was evident. This gasket material does not cut cleanly and does not adhere to the gasket cement as well as the Vermont Castings gasket did. It also compresses and flattens out more and the finish and quality of the metal mesh is not as good. Go with the Vermont Castings brand gaskets and you won't regret it.

North States Superyard 3 in 1 Metal Gate Review

North States Superyard 3 in 1 Metal Gate
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We installed this product along an L shaped wall to create a play area for our 19 month old. The area is about 32 sq feet in size, and accommodates a small table with 2 chairs, and several of his toys. The installation took less than 3 hours, and that was with my 19 month old "helping". Without his "help", it would have been a couple hours at the most.
The product was fairly easy to install, just be sure to install the screws into the studs behind the drywall, or use some heavy duty drywall anchors if that is not an option. We have used this gate only for about a week now, so there's not much I can say for durability just yet. However, the first impressions are good. The product looks solidly built, and can be easily to set up to any shape or design you'd like without the need for even a screw driver (apart from the ends that are secured to the wall).
I would have given it 5 stars rather that the 4 I gave it, if it weren't for the door. The door does not swing open a full 180 degrees, it only opens 90 degrees. My son have already started pushing on the open door, and I suspect that it is only a matter of time before it will either break off or come apart. Then again, I could be wrong, and it might be sturdy enough to survive the abuse; only time will tell.
[Update on 05/14/08] After several months of use, my (positive) opinion of this product has not changed. In addition, my worries about the door have so far been unfounded. The door has survived the abuse from my son without any problems. At this point I would gladly rate this product with 5 stars, unfortunately it does not look like there is a way for me to update my initial rating.

For households with little ones and pets, the North States Superyard Metal 3 in 1 is the perfect combination of portable play yard and safety barrier.

This play yard's sturdy structure allows you to rely on it as a safe space for both infants and small pets, so you can multitask or relax while they play.
For added security, the play yard's one swinging walk-thru panel is built with a child-proof double-locking system. This proprietary safety feature allows you to easily enter and exit the play yard while keeping you assured that your little one can't escape without your assistance.
Flexible Design Enables Multiple UsesUnique for its sheer versatility, this play yard includes six metal panels that can be set up in a wide variety of configurations. Weighing 43 pounds, the structure is solid enough that it won't tip or lean and lightweight enough to be moved from room to room. Set it on carpet, tile, or even a hardwood floor -- it includes rubber pads to prevent scratching.
Capable as an enclosed gate or a barricade, its 30-inch high panels can be connected to create an ample 10 square feet of space, or they can be put together as a barrier using the included mounting hardware to extend the width up to 144 inches.
If you'd like to extend the gate's overall diameter, consider purchasing a two-panel extension kit (sold separately), which increases the play space to 19 square feet.
Easy to Assemble and AdjustSetting up the Metal 3 in 1 Superyard is hassle free. The six interlocking panels are pre-connected--simply pull the panels out of box, unfold and connect them together, and the Superyard is ready for use. To put away, simply disconnect one panel, fold together, and store. The Superyard is so easy you can set it up and take it down in under a minute. The hassle-free panels also give you quick and convenient access to your child or pet.
For example, if you want to reconfigure the panels to block off different areas at the same time, you can easily do so. Thanks to the flexibility of the Superyard's design, you can use a few panels to create an enclosure around the stove while dinner's cooking, then use another panel and the included wall-mounting hardware to create a small-scale barrier around a staircase.

Glass Cleaner, 8 oz
Average Reviews:

The following applies to glass doors that have a fair amount of soot on them. Lately I have not been able to buy Rutland 84 Hearth and Glass cleaner in my area, it is a creamy consistency cleaner designed to take the soot off of glass doors with a little scrubbing. I've tried everything else available in our area including Rutland spray bottle (a liquid, not the same product as the 84 which is a cream) and four other brands that say they are fireplace glass door cleaners. I've tried white vinegar and wood ashes on a paper towel, which by the way works better than the other products but not as good as Rutland 84. Rutland 84 takes a few minutes to completely clean doors, the vinegar/ashes takes 10-15 minutes and you should take the doors off and lay horizontal (a pain!) and I don't think the vinegar is good for the door seal gasket. The other brands, including glass top stove cleaner, take a half hour of scrubbing and still leave a lot of soot on the door, they suck. I've had several types of fireplace inserts including my current Blaze King Princess, which is wonderful, but they all soot the glass after a week or so, without Rutland 84 I would not want to make a fire!!
