Gel Fuel Fireplaces - The Top Ventless Fireplace Solution
Submitted by jcstoner
If you're looking for a stylish and economical way to enhance just about any room in your home, you need to consider the gel fuel fireplace. This ventless fireplace is gaining increased popularity among homeowners and interior decorators. The design options available are many. The charm and elegance they add to a room rivals the most elaborate and stylish built-in fireplace. For reasons we will discuss, the gel fuel fireplace has become the ventless fireplace of choice.
With a gel fuel fireplace there is very little installation to deal with. They can usually be installed in just a couple of hours and you only need a few simple tools like a screwdriver to get the job finished. As far as ongoing maintenance is concerned that's probably the greatest benefit - there is none. No chimneys to clean and inspect and no soot or ashes to dispose of like wood burning fireplaces. The only thing you have to be able to do is replace the cans of gel fuel when they're empty. Most people just don't realize how simple and safe it now is to have that fireplace they've always wanted. The ventless gel fuel fireplace is the answer.
The gel fuel fireplace is good for the health of your family and your home. Burning gel fuel consumes little energy and emits no toxins, or offensive odors. In fact, with the addition of aromatics or incense, your room can be filled with a variety of wonderful fragrances or if you prefer, just a faint aroma of burning wood.
A ventless gel fuel fireplace, since it does actually burn, will give off some heat - many times up to 3,000 BTU's. Now this is not going to be used as an alternative heating source, but it sure will give off a warm glow and provide an elegant ambiance. Get the romantic sound of a crackling wood fire as the gel fuel burns. And it's so simple to enjoy. Just open the cans of gel fuel, light and place them behind the fireplace logs. Many models will handle up to 3 cans at a time allowing you to control the size of the flame. Each can of fuel will burn from 2 - 3 hours.
The simplicity of the gel fuel fireplace makes them perfect for apartments, condos mobile homes, dens or offices. In fact, I can't think of any room that wouldn't benefit by the addition of a ventless fireplace. And because they are portable, you can move them from room to room even outside on your patio. I've heard of some cases where people have put them in almost every room of their home including the bathroom. Given how inexpensive they are compared to installing gas fireplaces or a real wood burning fireplace, you can afford to put them just about anyplace you want to create that special effect. Good quality gel fuel fireplaces can start as low as $200 - $250.
It's no wonder the gel fuel fireplace has become the ventless fireplace of choice. With its easy installation and maintenance free operation it's the perfect choice. If you want to add warmth and charm to any room in your home, a ventless gel fuel fireplace is the way to go. It will beautify your home for years to come.
