Gas fireplace inserts are a cost-effective way to update, upgrade and make more efficient your open fireplace. It can be used as a space heating heat source that increases the efficiency of your entire home. Do you want to enjoy the look of a real fire without having to deal with firewood? A gas insert is the right option.

Gas fireplace inserts are used in an existing open fireplace making it more efficient. The insert is vented using the chimney that’s already in place.

A traditional wood-burning fireplace is typically drafty and allows the heated air from inside your home to escape up the chimney. A gas fireplace insert seals off the drafty fireplace and releases all the heat into the room, saving on utility costs.

With the flip of a switch, you can enjoy a real fire. There is no hauling, chopping or stacking firewood or waiting for the fire to build to heat a room. You can enjoy the heat and look of a fire without the hassle. They also come with a thermostat so you can enjoy the heat with precision control.

A gas insert is an attractive way to update the look of a room. The ambiance of your home will be enhanced by the warm glow of a fire that ignites with a flip of a switch.

There are so many options out there, how do you know what to choose?

Before you can choose a grill, you need to ask yourself a few important questions.

How much space do you have? Can you fit a full-blown, dream outdoor kitchen or do you need to choose one or two products? A big part of this is making sure you have enough counter space. You may want to squeeze in that extra power burner, but if you’re going to end up not having any space to put your tongs? Not worth it. Choose the counter space and thank us later!

Choosing products!

First, let’s talk Griddles. Having a Griddle is a great way to take your outdoor kitchen to the next level. Craving bacon, eggs, and breakfast potatoes? Griddle time. Want some at-home hibachi? Griddle. In the mood for a classic burger? Throw it on the griddle!

The Blaze LTE Griddle is made of heavy-duty 304-grade stainless steel. Built with 2 powerful stainless steel burners that deliver 18,000 BTUs each, this griddle provides exceptionally even heat across the cooking surface. No outdoor kitchen space is really complete without a Blaze LTE Griddle.

Speaking of taking your outdoor kitchen to the next level, no serious outdoor living space is complete without a power burner. Not familiar with power burners? Power Burners, a great addition to a basic, or premium, outdoor kitchen.

If you have limited counter space and want to add something more than a grill, but don’t have space for a Kamado or a Griddle? Power Burners are the way to go. The Blaze Professional Power Burner comes in the same sleek design as the Professional series, as well as being made from durable, commercial quality 304 stainless steel. This burner features two, individually controllable burner rings that can boil water in half the time as other power burners on the market. The dual ring design is ideal for cooking versatility. The inner burner is great for simmering sauces, or use both burners when boiling shrimp or frying fish. Cooking with the outer ring is perfect for large skillets and pans, as the high heat allows the pan to heat up quickly. Another great feature is the removable 9-inch inner ring for cooking with a wok!

Obviously, every outdoor kitchen needs a superb grill. Check out our favorite things about our Professional, LTE, and Traditional lines here (link to last week's blog).

Blaze Outdoor has a variety of products available to fit any outdoor kitchen. Whether you want a standard high-quality grill, an upgraded LTE Griddle or top-of-the-line professional grade Power Burner, Blaze has what you need – and more!

Pizza is a true passion for Italians. One they can hardly give up. There are many who put themselves to the test in their home kitchen by experimenting with new doughs or relying on family recipes perfected over the years.

However, in order to make tasty and fragrant pizzas, like the ones you eat in a restaurant, it is necessary to have a home pizza oven that is capable of reaching high temperatures that range around 450°- 500° C.

The reason being is that the pizza dough needs the so-called “heat blast” so as to swell and cook perfectly in just a few minutes.

There are numerous home pizza ovens on the market with different features: they can be portable, light and not too bulky, fueled by wood or gas, capable of cooking one or more pizzas at the same time.

Since there are so many options available, it’s important to find the solution that best suits your needs.

Let’s then discover what features to look for and take into account when choosing the best pizza oven for your home. In this article, we will see:

How to choose a pizza oven

As the warm season arrives, outdoor spaces begin to be taken care of. Perhaps by setting up an area dedicated to the outdoor kitchen to be used to comfortably organize dinners with family and friends.

It goes without saying that choosing a good oven is essential in order to create a wide variety of recipes with excellent results, based on the flair and needs of the moment.

But before starting your search for a home pizza oven you need to establish what your needs are in terms of space and habits in the kitchen.

Well then, how do we go about choosing a pizza oven? 3 elements need to be taken into consideration:

• Design - When you are about to buy a new oven for garden pizzas, it is important to choose a style that is capable of integrating with the other furnishings already present outdoors.
• Size - Once you have identified your style, it is essential to understand how many pizzas you need to cook, so that you can choose the oven with the most suitable size for your needs.
  In fact, the ideal model is one that manages to combine the right size of the cooking chamber and the available space.
• Type of fuel - When one thinks of a home pizza oven, the first model that comes to mind is undoubtedly the traditional wood-burning oven. However, this is not the only solution on the market.
