THE HITCHING POST MANTEL:
Before there were endless striped asphalt parking lots and multi-story parking garages, commuters hitched their “ride” to a simple post or rail when they came into town. Homes and businesses across Kentucky had either a hitching post or a hitching rail to tie off your horse to keep it from wandering. Our Hitching Rail mantel pays homage to a simpler time when horse power came with a saddle.
Hitching posts gained popularity in the early 1800’s and remained a roadside feature into the early 1900’s. At the height of their popularity, they were made in all shapes and sizes and became a decorative status symbol for the elites. Made from stone, iron, wood or steel, the basic need was to have a rail or ring to tie a simple clove-hitch or rolling-hitch knot to keep your horse in place. In Kentucky a lot of communities have horse-themed cast iron posts or simple stone obelisks with a cast iron ring. You’ll still find them in use on Kentucky farms, but unfortunately many were lost to the metal drives during WWI and WWII. Our Hitching Post mantel reminded us of the clean lines of the post and rail style hitching post which is how it got its name in our Bluegrass Collection.
DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS:
Horses and Kentucky have a long history together, and before there were automobiles for commuting, homes, and businesses across Kentucky had a hitching post to keep your horse from wandering. Our Hitching Rail Fireplace Mantel Surround pays homage to a simpler time when horsepower came with a saddle. Character details include deeply weathered woodgrain, tool marks, insect damage, nail holes, saw marks, checks & splits, and character knots.
FAUX WOOD:
Although our fireplace mantel shelves appear to be antique wood timbers and beams, they are actually made using our patented casting formulation. Every concrete mantel shelf is hand-cast, and hand-painted by incredible coloring artists to reproduce the natural patina and color nuances acquired with exposure to the elements over time. With every Lexington Hearth Mantel Shelf, you get the beauty of antique timbers, without the splinters. We call that “NATURE…Re-created!”
COLOR:
Mantel shelves are hand-painted and will have minor variances in color and highlights.
DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT:
The top rail has a cross-section of 5.5" x 5.5" and is 78.5" long, weighing in at 80 lbs. The rail rests on two posts that each measure 5.25" deep x 5.5" wide and 56" tall, with each post weighing 54 lbs. The posts can be adjusted for lower openings by trimming them with a diamond-bladed saw. (Fireplace Surround posts and top rail are individually hand cast and will have minor variances in weight and final dimensions)
NON-COMBUSTIBLE CASTING MEDIA:
Our high-definition casting formulation is noncombustible and authentically replicates the rich wood grain & character details of antique timbers. Meets or exceeds ASTM E136 laboratory test standards for non-combustibility.
CENTER AIR-GAP CONSTRUCTION:
Reduces weight and minimizes heat transfer to the top of the mantel shelf.
CUSTOM SIZES & COLORS:
If you need a custom height for the Hitching Post Surround Mantel, its side posts can be reduced to heights between 36" and 56" upon request.

I had an elderly client whose pellet stove went out just as it started getting cold. I found this beautiful red one and it was delivered quickly and for a cost quite a bit lower than Home Depot or Lowes. And no tax or delivery charge. Very happy first time buyer. Will be a repeat customer. Thanks
Empire | HearthRite Blower for Vent-Free Infrared/BlueFlame Heaters
We took delivery of our new wood stove, and immediately unpacked it and sorted through the parts and pieces. I painted it and built a small fire in it with a short chimney pipe to bake the paint.
We were short some screws to mount the fan, but they were easy to obtain. We carefully moved it in to place where our older stove was and fired it up. It warms delightfully!
My only disappointment is the noise of the fan. I was hoping for a quieter air movement, and I will be researching ways to quiet it down. It’s more than a bit distracting. But it does move the heat well.
Price, ease of ordering, product availability, and fast service made my shopping experience a pleasure.
Ordered a Wildfire 42” grill. It was 1k cheaper than anyone else. Shipping isn’t fast, but it was all good in the end. There are a bunch of sketchy reviews in these guys which had me stressing, but in the end they delivered exactly what was promised at a huge discount. I’m guessing they are just a broker of sorts that has a network of suppliers and they hunt down your product. My item came from Dallas. Not Atlanta.
DuraVent - DuraTech 6" Diameter Stainless Steel 24" Pipe Length All Fuel Chimney Pipe
Took me an hour to install. I think the upgrade is worth it.
I was worried that something had to be too good to be true when I saw Belle Flame was selling the 3500 insert for over $1k less than anywhere else. But my unit arrived packaged well and wholly intact. Install was a breeze. A messy breeze. Communication with Belle Flame could have been better. Phone calls tend to go unreturned, but I suppose that is how they keep the price point so low. Would buy from them again.

Broil King Baron 490 Pro 57" 4-Burner Gas Grill with Side Burner & Rotisserie Kit – Black Finish
Great quality and presentation. A perfect addition to my Fireplace Hearth.
Love this new Wildfire Ranch Pro 36” grill. Cooks nice and even and works great.
Highly recommend
The Burner is a pretty good unit, but my experience with Belle was exceptional.
Will buy again.
