~Review~ Epica 3pc Ash Bucket

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own~

I was especially pleased with this Ash Bucket Set by Epica. My fisrt thought when I opened the box was at how much bigger and nicer than I thought it would be.

It holds a lot. According to the product information it will hold 6 gallons. I just know you can clean out your fireplace a few times before it needs to be emptied. It was a very nice scoop, it's perfect for a smaller wood burning stove. The scoop holder is built right onto the side of the bucket. It just slides in. It's also has a very nice looking finish, a matte black that blends in well next to our wood burning stove. It comes with a handled lid to keep ash from flying around.

This bucket is not heavy and has a nice sturdy handle. It doesn't hurt your hands to carry. It weighs about 5 1/2 pounds when empty.

The price is really good for this set and I think it's a very good deal. I would most certainly buy another one. You can buy the Epica 3pc Ash Bucket Set on Amazon.

~Review~ Epica Bellows for Wood and Coal Fires

~I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own~

We have a couple wood burning stove's at the farm. So I was happy to try the Epica wood bellows by Astor. One of our stove's is smaller and the bellows we have are very old and large and were not convenient to use. These bellows are made for a small or medium size fire. They are made of sturdy wood product panels with a powder-coated finish. The synthetic leather accordian is attached to the panels with metal rivets and is a nice smooth black that matches the wood panels. The hardware is all metal, no plastic parts.

I'm not a super fire starter, and I tend to forget they are going, so these came in very handy. I can't count how many times I was down to coals and jumped up to try and restart the fire. These bellows worked perfectly at getting it right back going, no paper needed! They are also nice to look at. Simple but classic looking!

Please check out these bellows on Amazon. They are very reasonably priced and a wonderful product.
