Ventless Fireplace, Gel Fuel, Fireplace Inserts, Fireplace Accessories, Fireplace Logs

Why own a ventless gel fuel fireplace? Many reasons! This type of fireplace is the safest way to have a real, crackling fire in your home. No hot embers popping through your fireplace screen, no burning logs tumbling out onto your floor while you poke your fire back to life, and no red hot ashes floating up your chimney and onto your roof.

A ventless fireplace eliminates the need for a chimney or flue of any kind, giving you the opportunity to place your fireplace anywhere in your home. And, since a gel fireplace is completely self contained, you can move it from room to room or house to house as often as you please. No natural gas lines or electrical outlets necessary! In fact, there is no permanent installation of any kind! A ventless gel fireplace is totally portable. You can move it around your home like a piece of furniture.

If you have ever owned a traditional wood burning fireplace, you know how much hassle they can be. Cutting the wood and then splitting it, hauling it home and stacking it, carrying an arm full at a time into your home to start a fire, messing with the kindling, fanning the flames to life, and then constantly tending the fire once you've got it going. What a headache. (and let's not even get into the chimney cleaning dilemma....that is a whole other nightmare)

Even if you don't cut your own wood, you still have to buy it, stack it, and carry it into your home. There is no escaping the amount of work that a wood burning fireplace entails. And then there are the messy ashes and half burnt logs to contend with. All just to be able to enjoy a nice fire.

A ventless gel fuel fireplace eliminates all of those problems. Once your fireplace is assembled (which takes less than an hour) all you have to do is to shake up a can or two of gel fuel, pop off the lid, and light it with a long match or lighter. That's it! All the hassle is taken out of enjoying a real, crackling fire.

What about gas fireplaces? Aren't they easy to light and enjoy? Well yes, they are easy to light, but does the fire crackle like a real wood fire? No. Do you have to have a gas fireplace professionally installed? Yes. Do you have to have it professionally serviced and maintained? Yes. Can you move it from room to room? No. Do you have to worry about gas leaks in your home? Yes. Is it as safe as a ventless gel fuel fireplace? Definitely not!

And then there are electric fireplaces. And although these types of fireplaces have come a long way in the last 20 years, they are still just a fake fire. A hologram. An illusion. There is no fire burning at all, and it definitely doesn't crackle like a real fire. You may as well just buy one of those fireplace DVD's and watch the fire on your televisioin screen. How romantic is that?

A ventless gel fuel fireplace requires no installation, no maintenance, no gas lines or electrical service, and produces no smoke, ashes or mess. You can put them anywhere, on any type of flooring surface, and never have to worry about smoke or safety issues.

Is the fireplace gel fuel really odorless? Well, not exactly. The government requires all interior fuels to emit a certain amount of odor so you don't forget that a fire is burning. All of our brands of gel fuels produce the lowest amount of odor allowed by law, and though it may sound strange, the only odor they produce smells like heat. Not a pungent or offensive odor, just heat. Our gel fuels go through routine independent laboratory testing for safety and consistency, and always pass with flying colors. Other companies can't make that claim.

Be careful when choosing your brand of fireplace gel fuels. Cheap knock off brands produce weak flames and terrible, offensive odors, and many don't even crackle like our Sunjel, Crackling Flames and Granny's Gel. Spend the extra dollar or two and buy the good stuff. You will be glad you did.

All in all, a ventless gel fuel fireplace is the safest, easiest and least expensive way to enjoy a nice romantic fire in your home.
