Charlie, this is Becca in Trenton FL. I am happy to report that we have had tremendous success with our first attempt at utilizing the prefabricated "oven" that my neighbor welded for me. I am going to send you a series of photos - one at a time - so that you can select those that will be of most value to your current and future customers. Please not that I am going to use the high-heat rustoleum paint (black) to paint the outside of the oven, but was so anxious to try it this weekend, that the paint job will have to follow. My neighbor will probably add a handle on the door in the future - but not necessary. The oven has a side latch and the door lifts out. There is also a venting system on the top which may be adjusted accordingly. I am absolutely thrilled with the results of the bread. I took a basic bread dough recipe and the bread turned out perfect. The last frame I will send you shows the completely cooked loaf cut in 1/2 so you can see that the heat was even and there was no doughy center. First try and it worked - I can't believe it. Photos to follow.

Hi Charlie - I finally finished the deck
that incorporates the fireplace pad- just need to stain the deck later.
My
arcadia doesn't look exactly likeyour pictures because I have those two
pieces that were missing, but it isclose. The fireplace pad is made of
concrete blocks filled with cement, andconcrete block caps on top of them,
then a thin layer of refractory cement and then the firebricks placed on top
of that level surface with only a thinlayer of the refractory cement between
bricks. I also put a 27" cradle in the bottom of the fireplace. The grills
were pretty rusty when they arrived - probably because the unit was stored
outside during transit, but I'm going to clean them up and put them away -
very humid here in Florida - anyway - I'm going to send you several pictures
- these are just a couple right now. |

Charles,
I just wanted to send a quick note and thank you again for delivering my
new 5-logger on Sunday just in time for my Memorial Day Cookout with
family. My whole family just loves this fireplace, and it looks great in
the backyard as well. I appreciated your professionalism and follow-up
throughout the whole process.
Thanks again.

Hi Charlie |
|
| I'm pretty
sensitive to how companies, and more important their people, do business. I was dean of Iowa's MBA programs for a number of years and now getting to spend more of my time teaching marketing and enjoying this cabin. I am impressed with the way you've handled the transaction and confident the fireplace will be just what we were looking for (I didn't want a "foo-foo" outdoor kitchen; I wanted something that fit our rural, woodsy, cabin).
I appreciate the good service and will definitely provide some Wisconsin pictures for your website. Thanks Charlie, Gary |

We are extremely pleased with the fireplace. My wife and I put it
together and it was fun to assemble and has been great to use. We took your
advice and got the one with the chimney and have very much appreciated that
it guides the smoke away from us. The draft is also good and the fires burn
completely to ashes. I have gotten pretty good at cooking on it by building
the fire in the back and drawing the coals to the front. I either use your
grate or a grate/table I found out of cast iron to cook on. You can slow
cook or sear a steak. |

Here is a photo of our fire pit for you! We love it. thanks Wendy |

Charlie, My bright spot has been my Fireplace. It took my brother and me about an hour to set it up and have a fire ready. My next-door neighbor came over and said he saw us take it out of the truck and the next thing he sees is us sitting around the fire. I also gave out all of the pamphlets that I had. Again Thank You, David S. |

My name is James Luna, my brother and I own a small business (heavy equipment repair service) in the middle Tennessee (Nashville - Murfreesboro area)
I purchased one of your fireplaces in 2003 and have enjoyed it
tremendously. It is the focal point of all our outdoor
entertaining. I always have lots of inquires and have given info
on several occasions. Someone was asking yesterday and that
prompted my inquiry. I have included some pictures and as you can see I have modified it somewhat. Also, I have moved it at least three times.

“Hello Charlie, We picked
up the Deluxe Fire Pit from you at the Wachusett Mt. Apple Fest. You were
absolutely right, it took less than 10 minutes to set up our fireplace. We
had the perfect spot for it and our fire is roaring as we sit on our chair
swing having cocktails. We are so glad that we found your product and look
forward to having many more campfires. Thank you so much. MJ and Rena, Westminster, Ma.” |

Message: We recently acquired one of your Mt. Katahdin fireplaces. But we did not disassemble it. Please send me your address and I would be glad to send you a set of
instructions. Thanks but we figured it out. By the way the person we got it from said the owner of this particular fireplace was involved in racing at Summit Point Va. And that Group 44 Racing Team, had a driver named Paul Newman Who frequented this persons house. So, We now are the owners of one of your fireplaces that Paul Newman had a burger off of. Kind of Funny. That's the story we got anyway. Thanks again. |

Hello
Charlie
It
was very nice to see you and your wife at the Woodstock fair. Here are
the pictures I promised.
We
cooked 20lbs. of baby back ribs for about 5 hours. Then put them in a
pan with some BBQ sauce and a little apple juice and set them over the
chimney for about one and a half to two hours with a VERY low fire. You
can guess the results. Thank again. Roger and Jan |

Hi, We were searching the web on how to build an outdoor fireplace and ran
into your site. We have to tell you that your fireplaces meet and
exceed our expectations. They are beautiful, functional and convenient.
We can't wait to see it in person. We would like to place the fireplace by a 6' PVC fence (if we can). How far does it need to be from the fence? Also, would we be able to come pick it up? Thanks much! Claude and Julie |

Hi Charlie, I just received a heavy box from the UPS driver and couldn’t imagine what I had ordered that was that heavy! Much to my surprise it was the top piece to my fireplace! Thank you so much for following through with getting that for me. My fireplace is now complete! We have enjoyed many great dinners that have been cooked on it and continue to enjoy the fires we’ve had on cool nights here in Maryland. Thanks again, Sue Bents |

I have had my Moosehead
fireplace for 25 years. Would it be possible to buy 3 replacement pieces for
it? Barbara K of Hopkinton, Ma. Barbara, it would be my pleasure to take care of you. Charlie |

| Here is a picture of our fireplace the night you installed it and I swear we were out there for a week and a half every night. We had a lot of company and everyone enjoyed the fireplace. It is a great investment and we are so glad to be enjoying it night and day this summer. Sincerely Warren and Debbie, Pembroke Ma | |
| "I was impressed with the ease of assembly of the Acadia fireplace. The most amount of time was used in getting the base level. Once I had that accomplished, the rest went together very quickly. The lightweight cinder logs where very easy to handle and transport. The visual appearance is wonderful. I have had quite few comments on how well the fireplace looks, and how it blends into the landscape, like it belongs there. I can't wait to light it up!" Robb M. | |

Charlie it was so simple and easy to set-up
the fireplace. It took my
wife Jan and I 1 hour and 15 minutes.!!!!! What more could you ask for?? Friends are asking us about all the time. We LOVE IT. Thanks again. Roger P & Jan R |

| Dear Charlie, Thank you for your generous donation of an Arcadia Fireplace. We loved having it during our Festival of Lights during the month of December, It kept everyone warm...It is now kept there permanently and we use it all year. Thanks again Starlight Charities. | |

Charlie, Thank you for making arrangements for me to pick up my new fireplace. It took about 15 minutes for my son and I to level the spot, and it took about 8 minutes for us to actually assemble the fireplace. Here is the reason that we needed ANOTHER fireplace; We just moved to a new home. When we listed out former house, we made it a point to list the fireplace on the fact sheet saying that we would be taking it with us. We had it set up at the edge of a patio in our back yard. After looking at the house several times, our realtor called with the final offer from our prospective buyers. They mentioned several minor issues that they saw in the house such as a small crack in a tile, etc. Even though they mentioned all of these things, they said that they would accept those things as they were, and we would not have to repair them. The red flags started to go up, as we were wondering why they were mentioning them. Then at the very end, they asked us if we would consider leaving our “Outdoor Fireplace”. Well, we took the hint and sealed the deal by leaving the fireplace for them. Naturally the next thing that I did was to contact you and make arrangements for another fireplace. A couple of our new neighbors already invited themselves over for our first fire. Thanks again, Tom, Enfield CT |

Hello Charlie,
Just an update, We Still LOVE IT!! It was the best $1000.00 we spent.
We also found if you use a fire grate( only $20.00 at Benny's) it works
even better. Hope you have a Happy Holiday!!!!!!!
