Bill,
Good that you found the cause and that the damage was not worse that what it was. As for the carpet in the basement, sounds like it's time for a new coffee table or something else to set on the burn spot so nobody sees it!!!! ;-)

nah will cut a piece out of the back area of a closet and get some good seam glue and go for it. Should be alright as along as I get the nap going in the right direction. It certainly could have been worse.
