I didn't think there was a chance it would be there; but, they had five options to choose from. This hardware store stocks everything and more. They boast a big selection of Milwaukee tools, coats, and clothing as well as Carhart and Columbia clothing and gear. They also have a great paint department. Also, check out the section of the store with the home decor and USA nostalgia items and artwork. Whenever I visit Minocqua the trip to the Ace Hardware is always a must as this Ace is 'Ace Hardware on steroids.'

Buyer Beware.....We recently purchased 2-fireplaces from Fireside Hearth and Home for our new…read moreconstruction home which also included installation. They came and delivered and partially installed the 2-units. Upon asking several times why the installation wasn't completed, we were told that the final payment is due NOW and they will return later to do the startup (as they call it). No where did I sign a contract stating these terms and there is no reason why they should be paid in full if the installation is not completed. Dan, the owner, was very unprofessional and very difficult to deal with throughout the process. I would not recommend this company.

Since 2019, Minocqua Fireside Hearth and Home (MFHH) serviced our 2 gas fireplaces seven times…read more Spring 2024, one of the fireplaces began to malfunction by popping on, poofing off, and blasting on again for the duration of its operation, no matter how long it was 'on'. MFHH serviced that unit then and we paid the bill in full, but upon using it again in the autumn, the fireplace did the same, scary thing. We called for service on both units, repair and preventative, 10/01, which was scheduled for 11/01. MFHH called to confirm service to both units which was affirmed. Though the tech identified a broken part, he advised that would not repair the malfunctioning unit, nor did he service the other fireplace. Replacement of the part was scheduled for 11/20 which he did. We paid the bill in full but complained the fireplace was still malfunctioning. After the owner came back to town, MFHH attempted to schedule warranty work for 12/27, which we determined to be unreasonable, resolved to find someone else, and asked for refund of half the trip charge, upon which the owner, Dan Massignon, fabricated unacceptable behavior on our part, ludicrous since our behavior was no barrier to scheduling and servicing the gas fireplaces in our home this time, or half a dozen times prior, and only materialized after we realized MFHH was either incapable or unwilling to actually fix the malfunctioning fireplace, fulfill the service request by omitting one fireplace, and by unreasonably delaying warranty service. Unless you like spending money for being defamed, DO NOT USE Minocqua Fireside Hearth and Home!
