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!

This stiff bristled brush is designed with wood handle, synthetic bristles, and the Lodge skillet logo burned into the brush head. Great for cleaning your cast iron pieces.

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. Constructed with a strong powder-coated metal, the gate can be used to create an enclosed recreation area or it can be set-up as a barrier to block off potentially unsafe areas. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the durable gate is easily set-up in under a minute.
A Safe and Sturdy Indoor-Outdoor Play YardWhether you need a temporary play space for your children or small pets or a reliable barricade for potentially unsafe areas such as fireplaces and stairs, the Metal 3 in 1 Superyard is up to the task. 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.
To ensure 100% satisfaction with your purchase, all North States products come with a one year warranty against manufacturer's defect.

I use this burner in my homebrew set up. It easily produces enough heat to bring ~12gal of liquid to a nice boil fairly quickly. The stand, obviously, can support all that liquid weight plus the weight of the keg that I use for my brew kettle, more than 120 pounds! Really-great product; and no assembly required.

Ecofan™ Heat-powered Wood Stove Fan Review

It looks great, no wires & it made a difference of about two degrees plus in the room which is great in the winter. The fan blades are a little light so don't drop it but they can be easly reshaped. I'm glad I got the larger of the two models. It's a great visual indicator, if the blades are turning slow, that you need additional logs. On the other hand if you can feel the breeze, shut the damper. I'm glad I purchased the Ecofan.

Glass Cleaner, 8 oz Review

Glass Cleaner, 8 oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer 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!!
