Stone’s Clydesdale I is an evolution of the original Clydesdale wood-burning insert. The Clydesdale I features new styling and new design benefits. The new surround allows for improved airflow, and the grill added on top of the facade guarantees optimum heat extraction. The robust, reversible cast-iron door stays securely shut, thanks to the improved latch and door handle. The new on-board, thumb-wheel speed control for the blower is easy to access and operate, and a full-cover heat shroud draws warm air into the room.

The Southport® Trellis outdoor rug pairs a contemporary design with traditional flair—a casually bold blending of old and new. Its natural color palette is machine-woven from synthetic, stain-resistant WeatherSmart yarns, so durability is a given, though the softness will trick you into believing you’re walking on cotton. Trellis comes in sizes of either 5 feet 5 inches by 7 feet 7 inches or 7 feet 3 inches by 10 feet 6 inches. It is also available in blue and green palettes.

Grilled jalapeño peppers are so tasty that nobody can eat just one. The Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue™ pepper rack (patent pending) holds 18 peppers standing straight up, so cheese and other stuffings stay inside the peppers while they are being grilled. The serrated edge of the pepper corer cuts off the top of the pepper and scoops out the pulp with just a twist. A recipe card is included, and the MSRP is $19.99.
