Carver’s Olde Iron 7" Red Fire Hydrant Cast Iron Standing Outdoor Ashtray

I said I was done reviewing products here until I can be candid but I have to make an exception here. This is an exceptional product. I read in the Q&A section that it had been re-engineered so I decided to take a chance on it.It is a heavy cast iron, nothing could burn in here for long. Mine is outside in the rain and finally I have an ashtray that doesn't fill with water, and I can tell you I tried MANY options for an outdoor ashtray. It's kinda cool the way that you don't even realize it's an ashtray until you flip the lid over where you can rest a cigarette if desired. I can't attest to the durability of the paint because I felt this was well enough made that it was worth the trouble to coat it with 3 coats of polyurethane when I received it so mine should look good for a while.Update: It's now been outside 24/7 for 5 months. It has no rust and the paint is holding up. I still love this thing. Best outdoor ashtray ever!Update: Now it's been outside for 3 yearsk with no rust anywhere! The paint is slightly chipped near the rim but it's taken a few knocks in that spot. It still looks pretty good, this thing is worth every penny I spent. I might actually take the time to repaint this thing someday because this is going to last for years and years lol

Bought this because I was tired of cigarette butts littering my yard. It has a heavy base so it’s pretty sturdy. It can hold a lot before it needs to be emptied out into trash.

My first instinct was that this thing could be an outdoor mock size of a real fire hydrant but obviously that wasn't the case. I would have been happy if it was even half the size but this thing is barely a foot and is more suited for a table top such as a coffee table. It was my mistake to not notice the size and beside that it's a great ashtray. Lots of room inside it you won't have to empty it for quite awhile.The only other downside not mentioned is that it doesn't put out the smoking item on its own. A couple times I only half ashed a natural cig and found the entire hydrant smoking! Make sure you "chink" your item before spinning it into the container. This is a quality product compared to most other ashtrays and it seems very durable and well painted and looks like you can change the top spin part out with other cheaper models with the same technology if you ever need to replace it. I think this item will last for many years unless it maybe falls and breaks. Not sure if this would crack easily or not but it was a great purchase!

I think this fire hydrant ash tray is great! It is not an eyesore like a standard ashtray and its clever design allows smokers to use just the inverted cap or the base to extinguish cigarettes or cigars. I use it outdoors and since it is made of cast iron it is sturdy and does not blow over on windy days...and it is "cute".

It was really small, and the top does not stay down while you are smoking. This was a waste of money.

I am not a visual spatial person so I thought it was gonna be bigger. It does work well, heavy cast iron so it is sturdy.

This ashtray is so cute! And it is big enough to hold several butts. My husband is a smoker but does not smoke in our home so I got this for him for his chairside table on the patio. It is sturdy and holds up to the Central Texas breezes.

It's nice it comes in handy it's pretty sturdy are already comes assembled all you got to do is put on the LED it's a little bit on the heavy side like a brick and it's not that big it's more so happening on top of a table so you don't have a cigarette butts it doesn't hold very much of anything which I didn't think you would because it was only $19.99 but I wouldn't say don't get it I would say save your money and get something much just something that is a little bit bigger than this one because For What It's Worth it's a good product it's just not something you want to keep going with it for long-haul because it doesn't isn't that much of a product should I say but it's nice I wouldn't recommend putting it anywhere that it will fall because it'll break in a matter of seconds because it is ceramic so don't drop it
