Step 2: Decide on the type of your fireplace.
Do you want a fireplace for its beauty or for warmth? A Gel Fuel or electric Fireplace may be decorative and heat efficient.
Are there any other special considerations? Are you concerned about having heat during power failure? A Gel Fuel Fireplace operates during power failures. This may be when you need the heat the most.
A Gel Fuel Fireplace may be placed anywhere. There are no wires. There is no construction and no mess. Gel fuel cans hide behind the logs. This creates a real fire effect. They flame and crackle like real wood. They use no gas or electricity. Your utility bills are not affected.
