This is a a very nice looking bucket with an attractive wooden handle. Plus they throw shovel in to boot.
It was purchased to hold pellets for our stove. It will not hold a 40 pound bag, but enough to stoke the stove for the night if low. Just right for us.
Also, if you had a wood stove it would work well for paper, kindling, starter, matches or when you need to scoop out ashes etc. Being metal with a sturdy handle it is perfect.
I would recommend as it is sturdy and attractive.

Rapid Brew Stainless Steel Stovetop Coffee Percolator, 2-12 cup Review

Rapid Brew Stainless Steel Stovetop Coffee Percolator, 2-12 cup
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you have mineral tap water that repeatedly ruins automatic coffee brewers, then try a stove top pot. We purchased one of these from another vendor for over $50 a few years ago and we're still using it daily. I don't see any reason to remove the lid like another reviewer said and the steel has no dings or warps at all after much use. When I saw that Amazon had one at this price I decided to buy another to keep for backup. We set the stove timer to signal in 10 - 12 minutes then turn down the control from high to low. It's easy to control the intensity and temperature of the coffee and the brewing basket is large, providing good water flow. This is a big improvement over the inconsistent results we got with automatic brewers and it doesn't get stopped up with mineral deposits.

A temperature probe is absolutely essential to monitor a catalytic combustor's performance and the condition of the fire.
It works quite well, but it took a little doing to get it to work that way. When I first saw it right out of the box it was indicating a temperature of 300 deg. Needless to say, this raised a mental flag. I had a good fire fire going and the probe was indicating a catalyst temperature of 1600 deg. This didn't seem possible to me so I threw the probe in a pot of boiling water, which physics dictates, should be 212 deg. It read about 500 deg. I set my oven for 400 deg. using a digital meat thermometer for a reference. The probe indicated a temperature of about 700 deg. By now I was convinced that the probe left the factory severely miscalibrated. I was able to loosen a nut in the back and adjust the dial to a temperature that agreed with me and my references. I should also mention that this was my 2nd probe and I had the same issues with the first one as well. The picture in the ad shows a probe with a scale that starts at 100 deg. and the pointer indicates that too. The probe I got starts at 400 deg. The probe pictured has a multicolored dial, mine doesn't. It also indicates a different catalyst temperature range. I find this a little peculiar. Maybe the laws of physics change depending on the color of the dial.

Cedar Wood Incense - 40 Bricks (Cones) - Incienso De Santa Fe Review

Cedar Wood Incense - 40 Bricks (Cones) - Incienso De Santa Fe
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you're someone that is familiar with incense, you will definitely find this kind to be a little different. This red ceder scented incense is part of a line of wood based blends that include balsam and mesquite, among others. They are a little more loosely packed then sweeter traditional incense you may be used too, and emit a much smokier, fire burning smell than oil based blends. It's my opinion that if you are used to the usual swirls that emit from cone incense, you may just find this to be a bit overwhelming. If however, you feel the extra smoke won't bother you, you may also find this and the other wood based incense to promote a very warm and cozy atmosphere of a burning fireplace. It will fill your room with a delightful ceder wood aroma to be sure. The looser base of these blends make for a much faster burning experience than your average cone, or stick incense. My average per brick is about 20 minutes and its done. The return however is that the extra smoky blend makes for a longer lasting scent in the aftermath.
I have not found these, or any of the others in this line, to be any harder to light than any other kind of incense. And with all due respect to the other reviewer here that stated they do not stand up easily, I have had no problems with mine in that area. I would prefer a traditional cone over the little brick design that these are, but they are still very manageable. If your an incense enthusiast, I would definitely recommend at least trying this old fashioned ceder blend. Perhaps picking up a small box as part of a free shipping package just to try them out...

Burnmaster Hawk Wood Burner Review

Burnmaster Hawk Wood Burner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned this style unit (single cord) for several years and really enjoy using it. It came with the proper cord and adapter so I can use other brand tips if I wish. The entire pen assembly disconnects instead of just the tip - I like this a lot! (A friend has the tip-only kind.) The cord is heavy duty. The unit heats up almost instantly and cools quickly. I've had no problems with it at all. Their selection of pens is good, but I usually end up only using 2 or 3 at most. I use it for gourd burning. The unit is fairly heavy, which means it doesn't move around on a table. We travel in an RV a lot; this just packs up in my traveling case with no problem.

This unit is a top quality wood burning unit that accepts ANY major brand of handpiece. The Burnmaster Hawk has a single port and pen rest, and it will heat in just seconds.

Due to the unique overload protection, this unit will not burn out, even if you have a pen with a short in it. The Burnmaster has custom circuitry to detect abnormal conditions and trips a resettable breaker, thus preserving your unit. Another highlight is the smooth variable power supply, which adapts to various voltage levels with no special adjustments. Your pen will reach operating temperature in several seconds. This unit's circuitry was designed for woodburners and smoothly adjusts from low to the highest heat level. With 130 watts available, heat recovery seems instantaneous, and you have plenty of power in reserve for any future needs. The conversion cords (included) allow you to use pens with the smaller RCA jacks. The Burnmaster conversion cords and connectors are of heavy-duty construction, of course. The package comes complete with the base unit, metal pen holder (on top), single port, and one adapter cord for your current or even future pens.

10 Lb Fatwood In Color Carton Review

10 Lb Fatwood In Color Carton
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've tried every kind of fire-starter out there and always keep coming back to fatwood as being the best, easiest to use, and definitely most environmentally responsible. It contains no petrochemicals - just good-old pine resin. It's "made" by leaving pine stumps standing for a few months after harvesting the trees, so that the resin in the roots moves up into the stump. The stump is then split and cured awhile before being packaged - by the time you get it, it's dry and volatile and lights really fast and burns really hot.
All I use to get a roaring fire going is two sticks, lit and dropped between between two logs in the wood-stove. I add a small handful of bark and twigs to the blaze, then put my top-log on top of that. I heat my whole home with nothing but my wood-stove every winter, and fatwood makes that job a lot easier.
The only thing I've ever encountered that starts a fire faster and hotter is Army-surplus trioxane tablets, which are impressive, but really toxic - I was always worried about inhaling the dust or getting it into my clothes (and I wasn't too thrilled about what I was sending up the chimney, either!) And those sawdust-and-paraffin fire-starter bricks from the grocery store are just about worthless - almost as hard to light as plain wood! So fatwood it is for me, and has been for years now.
This particular product is also the best deal per pound that I've found so far for fatwood - even after adding shipping and handling. The box it comes in is a nice bonus, too - easy to dispense from and store. I hope Amazon keeps offering it!
