Mankind has been preparing meals with fire for centuries now, but only in the past few decades have we harnessed gas for cooking. Many purists still enjoy cooking with wood or charcoal fueled fires despite one major downside. Charcoal fires may provide a better taste to meals in the minds of many, but waiting for charcoal to warm up is a deal breaker for many others. Avoid this stumbling block with the help of the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter. This chimney starter is constructed of aluminized steel and features a stay-cool thermoplastic handle, letting you heat up your coals while keeping your hands safe.
The bbq chimney starter features a cone bottom for faster starting, and lights up charcoal quickly and evenly. A handful of chimney starter systems are available for purchase. Determining which model works for any one individual will depend upon the number of coals they need prepared as the biggest difference between many chimney starters is capacity. Online reviewers were unanimous in their praise for the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter. The lone problem that both five star and one star reviewers pointed out was a poorly designed handle. Many reviewers found that Weber’s thermoplastic handle did in fact become very hot with each use. All these reviewers pointed out that a wooden handle would not have experienced the same issue and is often used on smaller, less expensive models. Charcoal grilling is the best way to get great flavor from your barbecue, but waiting for those coals to warm up deters many. This is easily avoided with great tools like the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter.

The Playhut Magic Playground is a colorful adventure maze that includes everything kids need for active and imaginative play! The maze includes one large, center fort and two smaller cubes, all connected by crawl-through tunnels. The playground features built in activities such as: two basketball hoops, a target toss, a soccer goal and a putting ramp. The set includes a rubber, kid-friendly soccer and basketball, a putter, two golf balls and 3 magic balls. Though this portable playground is intended for both indoor and outdoor play, it is extremely lightweight and will easily tip over if used outside on a windy day.
Simple to set up and easy to fold and store, this activity center can be set up in a matter of minutes and is the perfect solution for rainy day play. Be warned though, once set up, parents may have a hard time getting kids out long enough to put it away! The manufacturer recommends this product for children ages 3-9, though children as young as 2 years may enjoy crawling through the tunnels and playing peek-a-boo. One of the wonderful features of this versatile playground is that the individual pieces can be rearranged to create a different maze every time.

So now that you have your dream dollhouse, it’s time to shop for furniture! The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Doll House Furniture Living Room Set is a hand crafted, wooden furniture set that boasts working drawers and doors. This Melissa And Doug Dollhouse Furniture is intended to be used with any 1:12 scale dollhouse and includes: 2 upholstered chairs, an ottoman, a coffee table, a cabinet, a side table and a couch with 2 decorative pillows. The majority of the reviews I read regarding this Melissa And Doug hand crafted dollhouse furniture raved about the beautiful, expensive looking design of the furniture.
Those who had purchased this Melissa And Doug Dollhouse Furniture Set mentioned how great the furniture looked in their dollhouses, noting the refined style and details. There were, however, several complaints regarding the construction of the actual pieces. Many reviews that I read complained of the wooden pieces coming apart under normal, careful use. One user mentioned that it was as if the glue used to hold the pieces together was not strong enough, or too little glue was used. The overall consensus is that the furniture is gorgeous to look at, but may be better suited for placing in the dollhouse and leaving, not actually used as a play set for children. The manufacturers age recommendation is ages 6 and up.

April 4th, 2018
When you’re a mid to high handicapper you’re often hesitant to put down some serious cash for high quality new golf balls.

This allows the average golf player to play this addicting game with far less concern if they play another mulligan.

The golf balls come in a blend of different Nike models and come all tidy in a reusable black mesh drawstring bag. From reports, the balls play pretty close to the real deal (new golf balls), but won’t hurt your wallet each time you put another innocent golf ball into the drink. Though your pride may take a hit, but that comes with game of golf. Oh and it makes a nice gift for your golfing friends!

Toro Electric Leaf Blower Offers Great Power While Being Lightweight
April 4th, 2018
Fall is perhaps the most beautiful season in cities and towns across America. Each year millions of trees’ leaves turn from green to a beautiful combination of brown, orange, and red before eventually falling from the trees. The color combination draws residents outside to enjoy breathtaking views and cool fall breezes. However, the leaves never remain on the trees and inevitably end up spread across your lawn. Now the backbreaking task of raking and bagging all those leaves must begin, but it can be made easier with the electric leaf blower. The electric blower from Toro packs good power in a lightweight package.
It is perfect for clearing leaves and other debris from yards, driveways, and sidewalks. A 2-speed motor provides air flows that can reach up to 160 mph, making it quick and easy to clear debris from your property. Other models available on the market are more expensive than this Toro model, but they also offer other features that this Toro electric leaf blower does not. Most notable among the competition are dual purpose models that blow leaves and switch to suction for easy bagging. Other models also feature greater power. The majority of online reviewers who used the Toro 51585 Power Sweep 7 amp 2-Speed Electric Blower were happy with their purchase, but not everyone was impressed. A small minority noted poor construction and plastic parts that failed after a few uses. Others felt this model was slightly under-powered for their needs. A power leaf blower can be a great time saver when it comes to picking up the beautiful leaves of fall once they have fallen to the ground. However, individuals should carefully consider the scale of the task in front of them. Larger jobs may require a blower that is more powerful than this model.

Anyone building a home gym centered on Bowflex equipment knows their name is synonymous with quality. Now one of the latest offerings from Bowflex can be yours with the Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Bench Series 5.1. The adjustable Bowflex SelectTech bench has been specially designed for use with the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbell systems and offers a wide range of exercise options.

The ergonomic design of the incline or decline weight bench promotes good posture while exercising, helping to avoid injury in the process while focusing the work on the proper muscle groups.

While the Bowflex SelectTech bench was designed for use with the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells, it is not necessary to own this adjustable bench to use those weights.

The majority of online reviewers were pleased with their Bowflex SelectTech adjustable bench, but it appeared to be less of a hit among serious weight lifters.
