Norpro Tin Heat Diffuser Review

Norpro Tin Heat Diffuser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Maybe it's just me... but the stinky, smoking handle problem wasn't an issue with me at all. When the diffuser arrived I unwrapped it and, with a gentle tug, pulled off the wooden handle! It's not like I'm going to be moving it around while I'm cooking on it. The handle would just get in my way on the stovetop, anyway. Without the handle, it stores much easier, too.
These little tin diffusers aren't designed to be used with a burner that's turned all the way up to "high". You'll need a cast iron or solid aluminum one for that kind of heat. If you're just trying to reduce hot spots or using it with a ceramic Moroccan tagine, it's perfect.

If you're cooking a delicate sauce, or melting chocolate, it's imperitave to use really low, gentle heat. This diffuser adds a layer of protection between the burner and the bottom of the pan, yet its perforations do allow heat to get through.

Blower needed a few adjustments before working properly. Moves air nicely, however, the noise and vibration is not acceptable at any speed. I have placed a small 8 inch summer fan behind my wood stove. On slower speeds it super quiet and moves a lot of heated air.

I don't often write reviews, but I really can't say enough good things about this product -- it saved me a lot of time in keeping my wood stove insert window clean. I really enjoy making fires all winter long, and as a result, the window in my insert often winds up dirty. This stuff works so well, so easily, that I cleaned the window routinely throughout the year, and it was easy to do. It must have something in it that makes such cleaning easy, because before I would use other types of cleaners, such as windex or something similar, and it didn't do nearly as good a job on the heavy carbon buildup associated with burning fires. So if you are cleaning glass on a stove, look no further, this is the stuff to get.

Imperial Mfg Group BM0133 Adjustable Stove Pipe Shield Review

Imperial Mfg Group BM0133 Adjustable Stove Pipe Shield
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This heat shield is great for reducing wall temps behind the stove. It should not be used for reducing recommended clearances of single wall pipe. Rather this should be used for added insurance.
The cool features are the simple 6 screw install and the two pieces that simply slide to make length/height adjustments.
The final install looks nice and does much to reduce back side clearance temps.

Dimplex DS2205 Compact Electric Stove, Black Review

Dimplex DS2205 Compact Electric Stove, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This little guy was plugged in and went to work immediately, heating our 16x20 living room built on a concrete slab addition. It has a mechanism to prevent overheating, so we tend to leave it on all day and night in the coldest weather...which can be pretty cold here in central Michigan. The ONLY thing we don't like (and it's rather trivial) is that you can't have the heater on without the flame effect. Again, not a big issue, since the flames are pretty realistic looking, when compared to almost all other models. It comes with a remote, although we never use it. It's not too big and has a very nice rustic appearance that goes perfect with our "lodge themed" living room. It also doesn't weight a ton, so it can be moved to wherever it is needed, but is still solid little unit.

Farberware 50124 Classic Yosemite Stainless Steel Percolator Review

Farberware 50124 Classic Yosemite Stainless Steel Percolator
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Perked coffee is old school, to be sure, but a well-made cup of percolated brew is robust and satisfying in a way that drip coffee isn't. Not only does the percolation process provide a deeper and fuller mouth, I think, but a percolator, bubbling away, is a lovely sight and sound.
If you don't like perked coffee, don't bother with any percolator. But if you are interested in something other than drip brew, consider this Farberware percolator. I'm not one to ooh and ahh over design, but this is a darned handsome piece of kitchen equipment. Take a look and the large picture and I will spare you the adjectives. :)
The stainless steel construction makes it sturdier and heftier than thin-metal percolators you might buy in the camping gear section of a chain store. While the name "Yosemite" evokes coffee bubbling over a campfire, I'd probably not use this on a wood fire to avoid blackening. I mean, this thing really is shiny and pretty. But as heavy-duty as it is, perhaps it would clean up well.
It's a capacious pot, making eight cups of coffee. The interior basket and rod are well made, fitting tightly together and clamping in place with the lock-down lid. It makes more coffee than my old electric percolator, but it does take up a burner on the stove-top.
Lastly, should you buy this unit, remember: Perked coffe may be good, but it's a danged sight hotter than drip brew. Of course, you'll probably figure that out for yourself...
