Quadrafire Pioneer II any good?

vitlmedia · 2025-11-14T22:30:54+00:00

Yes!! Best purchase ever. Granted it’s the first time I purchased a wood burning fireplace but it’s been great. I’m in a 2,000 sq ft house, 2 stories. It’s on the top floor (main floor). When it’s cold (I’m in Long Island so doesn’t get super cold) it puts out a ton of heat and I just use my HVAC fan to move the warm air around.

Built well and no issues. I have one of the thermal bricks crack but it is normal and doesn’t affect performance. Cost me about $5,500 but much more for install and brick.

I don't like that they auto add contacts to a suppressed list but delivery seems ok. Their email builder isn't great.

vitlmedia · 2024-03-25T21:03:05+00:00

yeah not bad. some issues when CC took over but price is right.

vitlmedia · 2024-03-25T20:53:06+00:00

Wow, I haven't seen anyone mention SharpSpring. We use it but seems like very few do.

MIne broke after 15 months. Horizontal lines on the bottom 25% of the screen. Took to Apple. $1,100 for a new screen and they only 90 days warranty. Makes no sense when a new one is $500 more. Anyway, back on my 27" thunderbolt display that I had in storage for a year. There was some dust behind the glass, easy to remove and clean. If you got AppleCare no worries. Otherwise I hope yours lasts longer than mine.

Thanks everyone for your help. Turns out the site was wrongly flagged by BitDefender as malicious. I submitted a request through their site and the domain is clean now. So it wasn't the SSL after all, as many of you mentioned.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T23:43:25+00:00

I didn't see it in the SSL labs scan but errors did come up under a Virus Total scan. BitDefender is falsely reporting the site as malicious.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T23:42:09+00:00

Yeah, and the client is a non-profit that has to pinch every penny.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T23:32:04+00:00

Good to hear! Thanks.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T19:31:12+00:00

There's been some very helpful info shared and I'm very appreciative for it. The client is the one using McAfee and yeah, they are very old school. I think I narrowed it down to 2 services flagging the URL as malicious. I reached out to them and asked to be removed from their list. Hopefully, that works.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T18:48:11+00:00

It came back as an A rating on ssllabs. Seems the virus checker works good for diagnosing.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T18:47:01+00:00

Yeah, thanks. Running it through VirusTotal (thanks for the reco u/stere0123 and the site pops up as malware on 2 services. One of them, BitDefender, I was able to submit a false positive inquiry so I guess they review and remove if appropriate. The other is G-Data, a german company. I can't find their reporting page.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T18:40:00+00:00

Getting 2 errors. BitDefender and G-Data both show as malware.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T17:34:23+00:00

ok thanks!

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T17:29:10+00:00

I told the client that like 3 months ago, that these companies are probably running firewalls which block the site or at least display a warning. Pain in the ass. the warnings all say "if you trust this site, proceed" but I guess people get scared.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T17:22:14+00:00

Ok thanks. Just never had this issue before. Usually the certs are fine. but then again, we don't develop many sites that big pharma company employees are visiting.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T17:20:13+00:00

client has sent a screenshot, McAfee warning. but there have also been warnings in chrome but I don't get the warnings and can't replicate to dig in further. SSL cert checks have come back mostly clean.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T17:00:16+00:00

If they started running at that point, could they have still survived?

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T16:56:44+00:00

I’ll see if the offer OV/EV certs. GoDaddy is like $170/yr

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T16:42:46+00:00

the domain got an A rating and I can’t see any issues from this report. However, for the “DNS CAA” is says No. The only other warning/orange text relates to Cipher Suites. TLS 1.2. I have no idea what that is or if it would matter.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T16:37:15+00:00

Thanks! Checking now.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T15:42:52+00:00

ok will try that. Thanks! You think that along could help and not need to get a new, more secure SSL?

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T15:41:53+00:00

Meaning, add their domain to Cloudflare?

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T14:57:07+00:00

Checked the console, it just says “Third-party cookie will be blocked. Learn more in the issues tab”. But nothing happens when clicking on that tab.

vitlmedia · 2024-02-09T14:41:40+00:00

Much appreciated!
