What is a Gel Fuel Fireplace?

Gel fireplaces burn an all-natural, jelled alcohol that is efficient and ecologically safe. Each can burns for two to three hours and can be reused until empty. They are safe, completely smokeless and even provide the romance of a traditional wood fire - without the mess. Each can of gel produces up to 3,000 BTU's an hour and one may burn up to 3 cans at a time. Though gel fireplaces are primarily decorative and not designed as a primary heating source, they will produce some warmth for your comfort. The cost of a can of fuel is approximately $.80 per hour, and most people burn 2 to 3 cans for a wider flame. Fuel can be shut down and saved for another time by replacing the can lid.

This product has been tested by a number of independent research laboratories and found to be perfectly safe. The air quality of the product in a room when the fuel is burning falls within the standards established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (O.S.H.A.) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Gel fireplaces allow you to enjoy a romantic fire in any room in your house without any of the cost, mess or smell associated with a traditional fireplace and can be set up in minutes. They are ideal for apartments, condominiums, mobile homes, bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, and conference rooms. Place one just about anywhere you wish to have the beauty of a real flame fireplace. Gel fireplaces can also be moved from room to room making them the perfect portable fireplace.
