CobraCo FRMOOS369 Moose Campfire Ring

This CobraCo Moose Campfire Ring is a unique item that makes time spent by the campfire that little bit more magical. I have just come back from a two night camping trip and me and my daughters were very excited to try out using the fire ring. My daughters were delighted and we sat around the fire enchanted by the flames as they bounced off of the moose and pine tree decorations of the fire ring.

This Campfire ring is more than just a decorative item, as well as looking good it acts as a way of safely containing your fire and making sure that it doesn’t spread. The Campfire ring is perfect for using on camping trips, evenings in the park or on the beach and also in your own backyard.

The Campfire Ring has silhouettes of moose and pine trees cut into the entire circumference, so there is a 360 degree view of the intricate artistic designs. The ring looks very pretty, even more so when the fire is burning inside of it with the flames flickering. This classic black matte finish of the metal band gives off a rustic appearance.

The CobraCo Moose Campfire Ring is 36 inches wide and 9 inches tall, which means that you can build a very reasonable sized fire, with the peace of mind that it won’t get out of control. The fire ring is made from four pieces of strong steel metal, that slot together very easily and there are also instructions included. For supreme convenience the fire ring comes complete with all the hardware you need to put it together quickly. Due to the four piece design the fire ring can be broken down for storage and is very small to transport.

Key Features:
Matte black finish
4-piece construction
Easy assembly
Silhouettes of moose and pine trees
Instructions included, easy and quick assembly

What’s in the Box:
4 metal panels
12 bolts
12 nuts

Rectangle Pagoda Patio Fireplace review by John Bath

My Overall Review:
	4 out of 5

Rectangle Pagoda Patio Fireplace

This free standing outdoor Pagado Fireplace looks brilliant out in the back yard. It looks really stylish, oozes charm and heats your guests, keeping you outdoors for longer, mesmerised by the flickering flames and the stars in the open sky.

This fireplace is so beautiful. It’s far more attractive and more stylish than any other fireplace on the market and it looks even more stunning in the flesh than the pictures suggest. It has a decorative top and base and dresses up your garden, adding style in a well round practical manner. The fireplace is also a snap to assemble.

The fireplace is easy to open to put wood inside and the included fire tool makes it easy to stoke the embers. The steel grate improves airflow, which means it’s easier to get a fire going in the first place, takes no effort for the fire to keep burning with a large and hot flame and it also means that there is less smoke. The spark screen on each four sides of the fireplace keeps embers from flying out.

The fireplace is made from sturdy black powder coated steel, which is robust and means that the fireplace wills durable, steady on its feet and ultimately safe. It doesn’t wobble about and should last for many years. The rectangle fireplace offers a 360 degree view of the fire, so your guests won’t be jostling for a seat around the centre piece.

Key Features
Handsome Pagoda styled top and base with 360-degree view of flame
Black steel powder coated finish for years of corrosion resistance and good looks
Steel grate for wood and better airflow for easier starts and less smoke
High temperature painted screen on all four sides won?t warp or crack
Measures 28.4 by 24.4 by 40.2 inches; weighs 46.2 pounds for optimal stability

Jason Drafton,
Great size and works very well. All the smoke from the fire goes up instead of out like other fire pits. That way you dont smell like smoke afterwards. Great product. Read Original Review

Courtney Ann,
I LOVE this fireplace! I have seen and used a number of outdoor fireplaces; however, this is by far the best quality and style. I LOVE IT! It is easy to open and place wood inside. However, it is also safe enough that I don’t have to worry about intoxicated quests falling into the fire like some of the outdoor fireplaces that I have seen. I would highly recommend! Easy to assemble too! Read Original Review

WeatherReady WRKH96LR Polyester Log-Rack Cover, Khaki, 96 Inches review by John Bath

My Overall Review:
	4.7 out of 5

WeatherReady WRKH96LR Polyester Log-Rack Cover, Khaki, 96 Inches

This Weather Ready polyester log rack cover is a very good quality. It is heavy duty, made from 600 denier polyesters with a PVC lining. This weather proof cover ensures to protect your log rack from the elements. The cover defends metal, wrought-iron and stainless-steel racks and the logs that they hold against sun, wind, rain, debris and any other outdoor elements. By covering your log rack it will prolong the lifespan of the rack. This cover is color-infused, which stops of the color fading, so even after years of sitting in the sun the color won’t have been bleached out and will look as good as new.

This large lock rack cover has metal grommets at the bottom corners to keep the cover securely in place even in stormy conditions. However I have found that the cover stays in place in high windows without having to tie down the corners, but having the option especially through the winter is a nice feature. The cover has full length velcro lined front sides, that provides quick and easy access when you need to grab a couple of logs, or reload with freshly chopped logs.

By covering your log rack your wood will be totally dry, regardless of the water, so you will have superior burning ability, with a cleaner burn. I will keep the covers on my log racks during the winter months and remove the covers and store them during the summer months. I expect to get several years of use out of these covers. They are high quality covers at a nice price.

Key Features
Oversized log-rack cover protects racks and wood against the elements
Weather-resistant, 600-denier polyester construction; PVC lining
Velcro-lined flap enables easy access and secures with metal grommets
Keeps wood dry; great for households with wood-burning stoves or fireplaces
Measures 18 by 96 by 42 inches

John Coleman,
I have had this cover on the wood pile all summer. Still looks like new, hasn’t blown off, and protects the wood from rain. A good buy. Read Original Review

Mary Jo Braid-Forbes,
The fabric was very sturdy and the Velcro closure makes it easy to access the wood. I would recommend this product. Read Original Review

Landmann USA 82436 8-Foot Ornamental Scroll Log Rack review by John Bath

My Overall Review:
	4.4 out of 5

Landmann USA 82436 8-Foot Ornamental Scroll Log Rack

This Landmann USA Ornamental Scroll log rack is very sturdy and durable. It keeps your chopped logs stacked neatly and up off the ground, so they won’t get damp. The rack is a very good quality, constructed from tubular steel, with a support in the lower centre part of the rack (this isn’t shown on the picture), so even when you load it full with logs it is still very sturdy. It doesn’t bow under the weight or lose it’s balance at all.

The rack is coated in a waterproof bronze shade of paint, which means even if you leave this rack outside in the damp it won’t rust and corrode, meaning that it will last a long time. This rack looks beautiful – it features a decorative ornamental scroll design and the colour is lovely, the bronze has some black hues in it.

I bought this firewood rack after a massive 70 foot oak tree fell down in our back yard. Luckily it missed all structures! We’ve spent the last few weeks chopping it up for firewood and had a massive stack of wood and no where to store it. The wood was spread over the floor of our garage and we needed to get it into some sort of order. This log rack was exactly what I was looking for! We keep buying more of these and we now have 5 racks, side by side. They look good, but more importantly they do the job. They are sturdy, keep the logs from the ground and there are no faults. They are easy to put together and shipping from Amazon was fast and we received all units well packaged in a good condition with all the bits.

Key Features
Large 8′ Rack stores a large amount of wood
Made of strong tubular steel
Easy Assembly
Keeps firewood off of the ground away from dampness and bugs

B Jackson,
This seems quite sturdy and looks nice. I’m not all that handy, so it was nice to see all the parts intact as described and to be able to put this thing together by myself in about 30 minutes with a tiny bit of help from my 4 year old and 6 year old. Read Original Review

Witsend,
The rack is sizable, sturdy and attractive. Assembly is a snap. Highly recommend, in fact I got on to buy another one for my BBQ woods. Read Original Review

60″ Fire Pit Cover-Chocolate Brown review by John Bath

My Overall Review:
	5 out of 5

60″ Fire Pit Cover-Chocolate Brown

This 60″ fire pit cover is excellent. I was looking for a cover that I could use to protect my new fire pit in the unstable weather conditions where I live. Flash floods, strong winds, even hurricanes, hail, sleet and snow all occur throughout different times of the year and we needed a strong, robust cover that would protect our expensive fire pit and keep it chip and rust free. Another requirement was that the cover was also attractive – my wife would not let anything ugly sit in our back yard.

Well, this cover is made of 600D heavyweight poly, the material is thick and very durable and it is of a really good quality. The cover fits over our fire pit well. It has velcro adjustments and an elasticised bottom so it fits perfectly. Since we’ve purchased this cover we have had some bad storms and the cover has protected the fire pit really well, it’s stayed in place and our fire pit has remained unscathed, no damage at all. The cover will also protect our fire pit from rust, so it will remain looking lovely even in a couple of years from now.

This cover is of a good quality and I expect it to last for many years. I’d seen more expensive covers and wondered if this cheaper cover would be as good, but it seems like the other covers are just overpriced – this cover does exactly what it is supposed to, it protects your fire pit. It also looks good too, so that’s a bonus. I’d highly recommend this cover to anyone looking for a cost effective way of protecting your fire pit against the elements.

Key Features
Large 60″ cover
PVC lining
Velcro Adjustments
Fits any shape fire pit
Elasticized bottom
Coordinated solids and designs

J Seabull,
I purchased this to cover a 52″ fire pit and it fits very well. The velcro tabs at the bottom create a very snug fit which has not moved in extremely high winds. The material seems to be be high quality, no complaints at all. Read Original Review

AS,
I’m very pleased with this firepit cover. It seems to be constructed very well and is fairly thick and heavy. Hopefully it will hold up outdoors for a long time. I have a 55″ hexagonal-shaped firepit and this cover fits it perfectly. I would definitely recommend it. Read Original Review

Deeco Consumer Products Arizona Sands Ii Fire Pit Table review by John Bath

My Overall Review:
	4.7 out of 5

Deeco Consumer Products Arizona Sands Ii Fire Pit Table

This Deeco Arizona Sands Fire Pit is fab. It looks great and it works well, the fire pit is a decent size, so you can make a fire that burns well and emits a lot of heat, meaning that we now spend longer in our backyard. When it starts to turn chilly we light a fire, rather than going indoors. We also use this product in the daytime without the fire lit, because it’s a table firepit, we use it when eating outside. It still looks good even when its not burning. There’s a insert to go over the fire bowl which transforms the whole diameter of the fire pit into a nice sized table. The table is also a decent height, so it’s comfortable to sit at and dine alfresco.

This fire pit table is designed well. There’s a shelf underneath it at the bottom of the legs that is an ideal place to store the fire pit lid when the fires in use. It means you can use the fire pit on your lawn and have somewhere off the grass to put the lid, so it won’t burn your lawn.

The fire pit is well made. In terms of other fire pits this one is a good price, and you
get a lot for your money. The fire pit is made from cast iron, which is tough and durable.
The tob is made from natural slate. This construction means that the fire pit is quite heavy, which in turn means it is very stable. The fire pit comes with a spark guard, so the flying embers can’t get very far. A log grate and a wood tool is also included.

I rate this fire pit table highly. I don’t have anything negative to say about it. It’s a well thought out product and it’s well crafted. I’m sure we’ll get a lot of use out of this.

DeckMate Luna Wood Burning Outdoor Firebowl review by John Bath

My Overall Review:
	4.5 out of 5

DeckMate Luna Wood Burning Outdoor Firebowl

We used this on our front yard for Halloween – it provided a great atmosphere for the neighbour hood. Somewhere to warm up and it made the night even more sociable, with everyone standing around the glowing fire. Somehow fire draws people in, its pretty mesmerising, especially with this pit that has star and moon cut outs on the side which illuminate when the fire is lit and look very pretty.

This fire pit was a snap to assemble, it only took about ten minutes. It’s great because it is easy to move around, so as I mentioned we took it out front of the house for Halloween, but it normally stays out the back on our deck. I would be worried about putting a lot of the different fire pits on our deck, but the sparks and coal’s can’t escape from this so it’s safe.

This fire pit is large, there’s lots of room to fill with wood and the more wood means more heat. We thought about getting a round fire pit to start with, but thought you’d fit more wood into a square one. This pit is deep and you can fit several big logs in it and still fit the lid on. So as well as looking good it keeps you nice and toasty! It’s an ideal size for 5 or 6 people to sit around it. We’ve used it for quite a few gathering, using the fire as a bbq, which really is a much more social event than using a regular gas grill. There’s something more exciting about everyone sitting around an open fire, roasting their own corn, making s’mores and holding marshmallows on a stick.

The fire pit has held up well, it’s survived some pretty bad weather but its a tough thing. No complaints at all, overall it’s a very decent product and is well worth the money.

Lynda Popolla,
I really like this fire pit. It is nice and deep and has the pretty cutouts on the side. The cutouts are screened to prevent embers from leaping out. It took only a few minutes to put together. It is solid and sturdy. I would highly recommend this fire bowl. Read Original Review

Coucha,
Perfect size for my setting. It was easy to put together and I would recommend to others. No issues with the instructions and the mesh screen to cover the holes on the side was a nice touch. Read Original Review
