Coghlan's Mosquito Coil Holder – Durable Metal Frame for Mosquito Repellent Coils, Portable and Safe for Outdoor Camping, Patios, and Picnics, Keeps Coils Secure, Reduces Ash Mess

Love it

yes. safety measure. can be hung safely to deck or post. works well to excellent. burns completely and smoothly. obviously Coghlan coils, since very easily broken when getting them separated, can fit burning pieces of any size in the smoker holder. and produces nice smoke (dont breathe it though - as there are some toxicities to the coils smoke.) it did not break (so that is better point than the terra cotta version. yes, I can tap it against deck or tree and get residual ash out of the well. durability very good, even of the fire retarded plastic that must really be glass holding the burning coil in. takes care of the safety issues as I no longer desire any unexposed flames or burning material on or near the deck. the holder seems to be ok with weather, and I have not had any issues with wind gusts taking things to higher anxiety levels. pros : well constructed, simple, basic, good holder.cons: is a learning experience as the fit is a bit tight and a little to be watched so as not to touch the hot part of the coil when securing the two pieces together on a hot coil. the glass turns a black color but so far for one full season it functioned nicely.

I like this mosquito coil holders because it offers me more options to hang coils, it contains the coil so that it can't start a fire, and it contains the ashes so they don't get all over where it's placed. In other words, it's a practical idea that works well for me. I had two of these coil holders that served me for quite a number of years. I lost one and needed to replace it. The originals were not purchased from Amazon but I was pleased to see Amazon sold them. I've got two again and I'm all set to go camping.

I had been looking for a mosquito coil holder that was made out of that pottery material. I found some at a local retailer with the help of one of the store employees. I told her I wanted to take it out of the box to make sure it wasn't broken and sure enough it was so we checked another one and another one and found that every one of them was broken. I decided that I didn't want that style anymore and came home and looked on the internet and found these. Its made out of metal so breaking won't be a propblem and these can be hung up which is a nice feature.

While I like the fact that even broken Mosquito Coils will work in this item (and goodness knows the Coghlan's coils break more easily than all but one other brand of coil I have used), it is quite difficult to get the holder closed and opened. This makes it too much trouble to hang it, which is how I like to use one holder, with another flat on the deck about 10 feet from the first. Overall, for the price (and to be able to easily burn the broken pieces of poor coils), it isn't a bad product.

I uses the coils when my kids are playing outdoors be it in a playground or patio. The coil hangers provided with the coils are not ideal as they allows the ash to fall on the floor and if not hanged properly, it will leave burn marks on the floor. This item keeps the floor clean by containing the ash within the coil holder itself. It kind of trap the smoke and then emits them, making me feel that the smoke is locallised and thicker smoke is emitted as compared to the hangers provided in the coils. Overall, nice product and keep my patio safe and clean.

I've been using these things since I was a kid camping with my parents. These are way better than the ones with just a screen in a hole on the base.The quality of this one isn't as high as the ones we used to use. The screen on this one came a bit out of the track with relatively little pressure, but it's a pretty simple design and probably an easy fix should it worsen. The older ones also had a better screen material I think, but this one still seems to hold up to the heat of a smoldering coil.All in all though, this does its job as well as ever: keep the coil from blowing out, let you put it wherever you want, and keep the ashes contained. It even makes it possible to piece together and use a broken coil.

Got two of these in the 90's and needed to give some to newbies - these are the greatest!
