MacKenzie Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 ck, that shelf unit looks quite practical, neat. Quote
tony b Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Did this come from one of the big box stores? Which one, so I can go looking here? Quote
ckreef Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 Did this come from one of the big box stores? Which one, so I can go looking here?Both Lowes and Home Depot sell them. I liked the HD version better. Quote
tony b Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks, ckreef! Will check it out at both and compare prices here. Quote
ckreef Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 We wanted a little heat for those cooler winter nights and to make the Bistro a bit more cozy for the after dinner cocktails - wink, wink. Got this small propane fire pit. Comes with about a 10' hose. This is on low and it still pumps out the heat. Mrs skreef loves it. Got to keep the Mrs happy. Quote
MacKenzie Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Talk about ambience, beautiful:) Quote
skreef Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Well the Bistro is coming along really good..We cant wait til we are finish with this project.Then its off into the house for more work..Get ready ckreef. The Fire pit worked perfect last nite.Felt like a perfect date nite in the Bistro Quote
PRippley Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Nice and perfect sized, where did you find that ckreef? Might work for our back patio. I was thinking about one of those tall propane heaters, but not much ambiance with those.... Quote

I was thinking about one of those tall propane heaters, but not much ambiance with those....Got that at Lowes for $99. They have many different models to choose from. Some tall, some short, round, square, small, big, you should be able to find one to suit your porch. We wanted something small (limited space) and low to the ground so when we sat around it our knees would also feel the heat. This one is only 18" total diameter and the fire is about 12" off the ground.We also looked at the stand up SS propane heaters. Probably would have worked better for total heat but talk about killing the mood - LOL Quote
PRippley Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Exactly! We are headed to a town with a Home Depot today, maybe they will have some similar to yours on sale!â˜ºï¸ Quote

We are headed to a town with a Home Depot today, maybe they will have some similar to yours on sale!☺ï¸Home Depot definitely has some different models to choose from. We looked at both stores before making our decision. There are definitely nicer units but our space is so limited it really limited our choices. Quote
PRippley Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 No dice at the Home Depot, I will have to keep looking! Quote
ckreef Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Posted November 2, 2015 No dice at the Home Depot, I will have to keep looking!Find a Lowes they definitely had a better selection. Quote
PRippley Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Good excuse to travel a bit farther afield! Quote
CeramicChef Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Charles - what a really nice outdoor bistro you're creating! I really like that gas fire pit with the rocks. Takes the chill off and gives you a place to snuggle with skreef! Bucko, you have this deal all figured out! Quote

Both me and Mrs skreef are really excited about how things are shaping up. Quote
tony b Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 Just tell me that there's a hot tub off on the side of the Bistro for the after dinner drinks and ??? Quote
