Weathershield Chimney Cap – Product Review

The Weathershield chimney cap is not your average chimney cap – it’s specially constructed for two different types of chimneys. The Weathershield cap for air insulated chimneys makes sure that there is proper internal venting for both double-wall and triple-wall air-insulated chimneys. The other available style is for single walled chimneys or for solid pack pipes. These cap styles both help to maintain your chimneys performance by keeping out everything – snow, rain, leaves, debris, and pests.

The Weathershield chimney cap comes standard with a removable mesh screen that helps to contain any sparks and/or hot ash. It also has a secure wind-resistant fit that won’t interfere with the convection cooling features of the chimney. There is a spring-tension connector that helps to assure a tight, friction fit.

This chimney cap will not rust or corrode because of the high quality stainless steel that it is comprised of. There is also copper available for those who prefer that look over the traditional stainless steel. Regardless, both materials stand strong against forceful weather and irregular temperatures. The Weathershield chimney cap is a top of the line cap that will last you and your home for many years to come.

Gel Fuel – Product Review

If you love the look of a roaring fire but don’t like to deal with the aftermath, like the smoke and the mess to clean up, then you might  want to consider using gel fuel.  Gel fuel is an odor free, alcohol based product that doesn’t leave smoke, soot, or ash behind.  This means you won’t need a chimney or ventilation system to have a nice, cozy fire in your home.  Plus, you’ll have the benefit of not needing a chimney or any additional ventilation.

Safety is one of the first things people ask about with any type of fireplace unit, whether electric, gas, wood burning, or gel.  No need to worry, gel fuel fireplaces are perfectly safe to use inside or outside the home. These ventless fireplaces do not emit any smoke or toxic fumes.

Gel fuel isn’t intended to create significant warmth, although it is comparable to an electric fireplace so you will get some. However, it will create the flickering flames and ambiance you’re probably looking for.  Most gel fuel fireplaces produce a heat output of about 3,000 BTU’s per hour, but you’ll have to check with the specific type that you choose. 

Fireplaces, or small containers, that use gel rather than wood, gas, or electricity are super easy to install and maintain.  They run on inexpensive gel fuel, so you could save on electricity costs and a few cans of gel fuel with be much less expensive than maintaining a traditional wood burning fireplace.  Most cans can last from 2.5 to 3 hours each and can be reused over and over again until they are empty.  Also relatively inexpensive, gel fuel usually costs less than $5 a can and can be even cheaper if purchased in bulk.

If your plan is to use gel fuel to burn outside, some units even have  citronella drops available so you can have an attractive bug buster.   There are even more options for outside use than inside use.  All of the options are very modern, stylish, and attractive.  Many of the options are even portable so you can move it to any gathering in the yard.  Using a gel fuel fireplace outside is also convenient because you don’t have to worry about constantly tending your fire to keep it going.  Just keep a supply of gel fuel handy and if your fire starts to dwindle, replace a can.  Easy as that!

Whatever reason for choosing a gel fuel fireplace, you’re going to love the convenience and portability it allows. 

Fireplace Heater Systems – Product Reviews

At this point, you’ve gone through all of your options and decided that a fireplace heater system is going to benefit your home but you’re probably not sure of which one to go with. The truth is, there are many options and quite a few of them will probably work for you, so you have to take some time to do some research and decide which one would be best for you. Lucky for you, we’ve put together a quick review of each of the most popular heater systems so that you can get all the information you need in one place.

Cozy Grate Fireplace Heater
Specifically designed for easy installation inside the firebox, this high quality fireplace heater system is a great choice for wood burning fireplaces, and has a blower that fits inside the firebox so that you can still close your fireplace doors when you’ve finished burning. This heater system can replace your current standard steel grate and comes in three different depths, 17” deep, 20” deep, or 22” deep, at no additional charge. For convenient installation, you can also choose which side you want the blower on, making it easy to plug in to the nearest outlet. Continually controlled by a thermostat, this intuitive heater system collects air and heats it until 110° so it won’t blow out cool air. A dialable rheostat controls how much air is blowing through the tubes at any given time. Although the blower box is housed inside the firebox, there is no concern for it to combust because it is contained in an insulated, protected box and the unit is completely self cooling.

Fireplace Gas Log Heater
Another remarkable, high quality grate, the Fireplace Gas Log Heater is made to work with gas or wood burning fireplaces. Specifically designed to fit completely into the firebox including the blower, this heater system will replace your grate and comes in four size/electrical outlet location options. The variable speed blower is equipped with a thermostat control that turns on automatically at 110F and off at 90F.
Emberaire Wood and Gas Log Fireplace Heater
The Emberaire heater system is designed to work with both gas and wood burning fireplace units. The flexible tube can go underneath or on top of your existing grate, or you can use it as a grate if you’d prefer. It can be used it while burning wood by simply laying the titanium alloy exchanger tube on your fireplace grate, in the fire or when using with a gas fireplace, simply use the tube as a replacement for your back gas log. The titanium alloy tube is incredibly durable and is designed to withstand intense temperatures.

Spitfire Fireplace Heater
Unique in the possibility of customization, the Spitfire fireplace heater can be modified to fit just about any firebox or fuel type. Constructed of aluminized steel, the metal framing height can be adjusted to accommodate special heights and though designed to be wood burning, it can be modified to be used with gas burning fireplaces. You’d obviously want to talk to a professional about anything like this, as it can be complicated. The blower sits outside the firebox so you won’t be able to close your fireplace glass doors if you have them.

Zero-Clearance Fireplace Heater
Designed specifically for pre-fab and zero-clearance fireplaces, the Zero-Clearance Fireplace Heaters are usually smaller than traditional masonry fireplaces and require a special size. The heavy duty steel tubes serve as a fireplace grate so you can simply build your fire directly on the tubes.

Masonry Fireplace Heaters
These tube systems are one of the best performers available and can be purchased with or without a blower, the amount of heat pushed into the room is better than any other heater system. The framing can be adjusted a no charge or extensions added at an additional cost so the heater system can sit deeper inside the firebox. Additional light duty flex tubes are also available for extending the blower further out if you have a deep firebox.

Fireplace Radiator
Constructed of heavy duty cast iron, the Fireplace Radiator is built to  last. It has a built in cast iron fireback to assist at radiating heat and takes the place of a grate. The blower motor, left or right handed, sits outside the firebox and draws cool air from the room into the heat chamber. The heat chamber, which is constructed with heavy duty cast iron, superheats the air which is then pushed back into the home with the assistance of the blower. This blower moves the hot air back into the home at up to 180 cubic feet per minute, but because it pushes so much air it can get a bit noisy.

Woodhaven Firewood Rack - Product Review

Are you sick and tired of having your outdoor firewood rack rusting whenever the temperature drops or rains? Look no further! The Woodhaven Firewood Rack is a top of the line rack that is made right here in the U.S.A. The Woodhaven is a very sturdy, heavy duty rack. The structure is made from 16 gauge steel and all of the nuts and bolts are made of stainless steel – which means that not one aspect of the rack will rust.

The Woodhaven Firewood Rack has a powder coat finish that is available in a black, baked on powder coat finish. Not only is this one of the best finishes available, but it is also environmentally friendly as well. Another perk of the Woodhaven Firewood Rack is its easy assembly.

There are a number of different sizes available in the Woodhaven Firewood Rack and two different color covers: black and brown. The covers are made from a top quality, coated canvas that has velcro located on the front and side of the rack for quick access to your firewood. The standard cover that arrives with the rack covers the top 12 inches of the wood – which keeps the top of the wood dry and ready to burn, and allows for cross ventilation. However, there is a full cover available at an additional cost. This is often recommended for people that live in areas with extreme weather.

It is also important that you properly “cure” your firewood by using a wood rack. Drying it out will help prevent any mildew growth and decrease harmful creosote buildup in your chimney. Overtime, creosote buildup can ignite and cause a major fire.

The Woodhaven Firewood Rack is built to provide a lifetime of service, and comes with a lifetime warranty. When you purchase a Woodhaven Firewood Rack, you are buying the last firewood rack you will ever need!
