Today is the second coldest day of the 2010 Fall season, and I am already o-v-e-r it! I’m a lucky girl in that I have a nice big wood-burning fireplace. Already, it’s been used two nights in a row (even though it took me a good hour to get some wood logs burning last night. Shnighty!). However, nothing beats the lure of a roaring fire. But some of us urbanites might not be so lucky to have a log burning fire and a flue. If you don’t have the luxury of a crackling hearth or even an insert gas version, you can add some romance and a environmentally friendly spark to your home with a roaring fire that needs no tending to and requires minimal cleanup.
The TravelMate Mobile fireplace is a portable gas fireplace built into a suitcase-sized steel-and-glass enclosure.
The Conmoto Roll Fire easily balances its stainless steel tank, mounted on its roller bearings
The benefits you ask?
- You don’t have to split, stack, season, or haul logs.
- There are no ashes to bag, no smoky smells, no chimney to clean.
- You can start, adjust, and snuff out fires in an instant.
- The fire needs no tending and won’t die out from neglect.
- Your friends will be envious and vote you their favorite on Facebook. =)
So there you go. Check out these contemporary beauties that can work in your living room, dining room, bedroom, terrace or patio. An instant fireplace without a flue. C’mon baby light my fire.
