I want one! Then again I would just look like a poser with one of these. Super nice and trendy fireplace but an ugly apartment:P. There aren't any prices on the website, so I can assume they are pretty expensive. I will wait till the prices drop, and I have a nice enough place for one. They should be cheaper by the time that day comes, if ever.

Hey that is totally cool...but i have one question how do the smores turn out? :D

   



ngignac @ Thu Nov 13, 2008 5:37 pm

Haha I never thought of that. :idea: I want one even more. Making smores right in my living room sounds good

Its a really cool idea...I want one now too..just in time for christmas and I wont have to have the fire channel on 24/7 either :lol:

Vent free so they exhaust into the room. In an average house, the smell and moisture are not a problem and they have oxygen sensors so they shut off before you do.

Nope. I'm wrong. I thought these were natural gas but these are the alcohol ones. No safety sensors and very little regulation.

You can get much the same effect by giving you're kids a lighter and some lighter fluid. :D

Seriously.. They'd be cool if they were gas fireplaces but their really just a sterno powered loophole in the rules.

I have an electric fireplace as well but I still like the log channel.

   



ShepherdsDog @ Thu Nov 13, 2008 10:13 pm

do you have to enter a password to view that channel?

lol. Aside from their rare foreign petigree, their pretty damned simple mmanufacture. No valves, minimum steel, no fans, not even ceramic glass because the temperatures are almost nothing. My guess would be less far than $100 to make. Then again, it's what the market will allow.

Then again, you electric folks, sitting around you're red lightbulb and crinkly paper toasters might as well think that's a burning bush. :D

My Mother in law does the same, and so would I. Make sure you have a fan kit to capitalize on the heat though.

Not my style. At all. I'm all into log homes, traditional furniture and wood firplaces/stoves.

My wife on the other hand, loves european/modern/new age kind of stuff. She'd probably like those wierd firplace thingys.

Good thing we don't actually have the money to renovate... 8O

This would be cool, I hate regular Fire Places because of the June Bugs. They get in through the fire place vent and they get everywhere. I remember one time in my old house going to the basement and the floor was littered with them. They looked disgusting, it was just nasty.

Looked like one of those horror movies. How much do they cost?

What.. June Bugs?

ridenrain ridenrain:
What.. June Bugs?


They are bugs that only come out in June, they do not last very long and anybody with fire places is usually the victim of them because they can get into a house through the fire place in numbers and than because they don't last very long they usually just die on the floor so your floors covered with these dead bugs that you gotta clean up. If you never owned a fire-place than you wouldn't know what I am talking about.
