Flame Genie Product Review

The Flame Genie portable fire pit uses wood pellets instead of fire wood. At only 12 pounds it is easy the store and transport. It comes with a nice carrying case. There is little to no smoke or sparks once the pellets start to burn. This is a nice little fire pit to carry and use when campgrounds do not have fire rings on site. Would also be great to use at home. We have only used ours about 4 times but so far we are happy with it. The flame pattern is nice to look at once it get going and it does put out plenty of heat. The pellets are readily available at stores like Lowe's, Home Depot, Walmart and Tractor Supply. We got ours at Tractor Supply  $2.99  for a 40 pound bag. What we have found that most times we burn about 20 pounds a night and you do have to keep adding pellets to keep the fire burning. But at 20 pounds a night and only $2.99 a bag it is still cheaper than having to buy fire wood. This fire pit may not be for everyone but it is nice to have when no fire ring is available. Clean up is easy and there is very little ash to deal with. I would recommend this pellet fire pit to anyone that want something easy to use and it comes in two parts so it is small and easy to carry with you.

Ocean Drive, Corpus Christi

Having a little spare time on our hands yesterday we decided to take a ride to Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi. It is a nice area with some nice homes and great views of the Gulf Coast. We where able to send a little time just driving up and down the drive and taking in all the sights. There is just to much to do in the Corpus Christi area it is impossible to do it all in one day. One of the things on our list is the tour of the Air Craft Carrier the USS Lexington. You can see it in the pictures below that we took from about a mile away, I had the lens on my camera lens maxed out so you can see just how big it is. We are hoping to do the tour sometime soon.
