My co-worker's husband is not so hot lighting his open fireplace. Is this better than Fat Wood for him do you think?

My husband and I just had this discussion as it is time to start using the fireplace. Both are very good at starting quickly but we think the Fire Starter squares are quicker, and burn a tad hotter. We decided to order only the squares when we finish up with the fat wood as they cost about the same as well.

I use them to start my woodstove, and prefer them to fatwood. They burn a long time about (ten minutes?) and there are no sparks like you get from the fatwood.

I believe it's better, smaller and more cost effective than fat wood. Just break off a cube lean it on some kindling and light the little cube...hold match there for 15 seconds...it will take it from there. I then build another piece of kindling and start adding dry split wood but always leaning it in such a way that plenty of Oxygen can find it way easily. Hope it works for you as it certainly does for me.

We use the fireplace for ambiance not warmth. In my opinion, it does not provide much warm comfort. We do;however, love to sit around the fire for relaxation.

Once again. If you buy logs and extra lava it will put out heat 360. Very good fireplace. Go for it. All the heat comes from the glowing logs and extra lava rocks.

I have had both and I can honestly say I think the wood is sturdier. It seems much more secure!

You can use lighters, candals inside and the flames aren't as big as them. It MAY leave a SMALL oder so light a candal also n no one will be offended. If u r in your own office dont think twice just use it. Its perectly safe I use my warmer anywhere I want to (unless im in a shoe box size room) ;) I even use it in a closed garage with the lawnmower gas can AND the fuel for the warmer. (dosen't sound smart but its fine). Im going every way to let u know its ok sorry so long. People use it in little ice fishing shacks and carosene heaters also. (thats weird u cant use a plug in your office?)

We have sold this to Boy Scout groups for years and they use them for faux campfire. They would put wood around the unit and and this in the center. I am not sure why or how you would would modify. There is a larger version from Chauvet called the Firebird and the Enferno mentioned below from ADJ we sell them both, but they are the same effect, just "taller" and "larger" "flame" effect.

Grace, We recommend against putting your TV or any electronic device over a fireplace. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

The sides do not get as hot as the front. If placed within the measurements suggested you should be fine. The open sides provides for some beautiful light. Be aware that the flame is not adjustable. The remote controls the temp, once the temp has been reached that you set the room mode temp to then the flame turns off. We really like the unit for our three season room! Hope this helps.

I bought mine because of the price. Yes, it's thinner than a lot of the $200 to $1000 models, but you get what you pay for. Because it's not a $500 model, I keep the fires lower (no bonfires) and we are able to roast weenies and toast marshmallows for S'Mores and to keep warm on all but the coldest nights. I bet it will last at least another year or so. It's carport kept except when it's still too hot to move inside.

Yes, it will heat more evenly once you have done a couple of burns with charcoal and wood. A lot easier to control the temperture once seasoned. I did a 22 pound last year at Christmas and it work very well.

I suggest writing the manufacturer to play it safe. From my own experience, I don't think wood is going to be an issue as the concentrated blue flames of a gas micro/pocket rocket leave no damaging effects. Few open wood fires burn that hot. Large orange flames in the Bioliite Stove could be a concern as XTS Pot has a plastic lid, and the plastic on the handles will melt.

I use Royal Oak lump charcoal, works great. Walmart has it. I have only used the Cook Air a couple of times but I can tell youits great! Awesome! I would think one 2x3 chunk of real wood would be enough. Do a google and see the lump charcoal its the best.Its real wood that has been burnt down to charcoal. Works really good and you don't need a lot...Mark

Ha ha- I'm not a smoker but I guess it would work to light a pipe or joint, but not as a pipe! Is 'wood burning' slang, or do you really mean wood burning? Again, not a wood burner but it would prob. do that; though I doubt as good as good as a wood burning kit. You could always try it and if it doesn't work, at least you have a new battery operated lighter/soldering iron.

We use the light as a outdoor fireplace in parks that do not allow open fires. We have drawn lots of people looking to see what we are using. I am very satisfied with the led bob.

It's probably a matter of taste and decorating style. The Atlantic stand has a definite industrial feel, from the "carbon fiber look" base to the painted steel post; there is none of the warmth of natural wood. With that said, it works fine in my office. With tall stands like this I am using two long strips of Blu-Tack under each speaker.

While I am certainly not an expert, I have had a gas fireplace in the past and I can't imagine that the wall above the mantel would get hot enough to do any damage to the picture. We love this picture and get so many compliments on it. Good luck!
