So I guess I won't look at Bravetti ones. Or least not the one you have. Except for it cracking, what else didn't you like about it?
How frightening. Definitely lucky you got home early that night.
I try not to think about all that. A few weeks ago, we came home to hear all our CO-2 alarms blasting. To make a long story short, there were embers smoldering in the ash pit of our fireplace (goes into the basement). Apparently there was an exposed wood beam cutting across the space of the pit! When Tom pushed down the dead ashes a few nights before, I guess some were still burning. I later read it can take up to 72 hours for ashes to be completely safe. Unbelievable. So, the CO2 built up while we were out of the house all day. We were lucky we got home early that night. I'd hate to think about the cats being affected because of it let alone the house burning down. It took 2 hours for the firemen to put the darn thing out and now we have to think about how to repair it/insurance, etc. Ugh.
I'd love to be able to utilize the crock pot better but wind up using it on weekends when I can make a batch of something and freeze it for later use. We have the last of my home made split pea soup ready to defrost tonightIt's freaking cold out today!
