I'm a pyro; guilty as charged. I'm the first guy at the ski house to light the wood stove the night we arrive, and I once brought about a cord of firewood to a rafting weekend — yes, weekend! I like fire, and I pretty much thought I had all the bases covered until I saw Heat & Glo's Cyclone.
Now this is cool. If you do high-end or commercial work, it's something you need to know about. The flame swirls and ascends inside a glass tube that makes it part torch and part fireplace. What's more is that you can make it a design feature of something else.
"So," says Contractor Max to his buddy Contractor George. "What did you use to trim that bar you built?"
George says, "I used red oak. How about the bar you built?"
Max answers, "I used fire!"
The Heat & Glo flame provides a 360-degree view. At 15,000 BTUs, it runs cool enough that you can place it in small rooms (imagine this in a basement build-out, a blinged kitchen or in the foyer of a trendy new shop). If you want to name drop, Heat & Glo sponsors ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition, which has used this product on the show. There's also a unit in the swank Ocala, Fla., Posh nightclub.
The Cyclone comes as a wall-mount unit, or you can spec it stand-alone, which (I can't resist) fires me up.
