They are so light and easily mounted I thought heck sure wouldn't hurt to have one. I got mine for $89 delivered. Thanks for the information. We heat with wood and we also have the flare type for chimney fires ... strike it and toss in the stove.... the gas produced extinguishes the fire. I keep them by the stove, never used one ( I sweep the chimney each year) but the only time I'll need it is if I didn't have it!
