There are new options when you go looking for a ventless fireplace for your home. The gel fuel fireplace has become one of the most popular and exciting options on the market. For the reasons we will discuss, a gel fuel based fireplace is the best ventless fireplace choice. Today's gel fuel fireplaces are styled to match the most elaborate and elegant built-in traditional wood burning fireplaces.


With a gel fuel fireplace there is very little installation to deal with. They can usually be installed in just a couple of hours and you only need a few simple tools like a screwdriver to get the job finished. As far as ongoing maintenance is concerned that's probably the greatest benefit - there is none. No chimneys to clean and inspect and no soot or ashes to dispose of like wood burning fireplaces. The only thing you have to be able to do is replace the cans of gel fuel when they're empty. Most people just don't realize how simple and safe it now is to have that fireplace they've always wanted. The ventless gel fuel fireplace is the answer.

 The gel fuel fireplace is good for the health of your family and your home. Burning gel fuel consumes little energy and emits no toxins, or offensive odors. In fact, with the addition of aromatics or incense, your room can be filled with a variety of wonderful fragrances or if you prefer, just a faint aroma of burning wood.

 A ventless gel fuel fireplace, since it does actually burn, will give off some heat - many times up to 3,000 BTU's. Now this is not going to be used as an alternative heating source, but it sure will give off a warm glow and provide an elegant ambiance. Plus, get the crackling sound of real wood burning when you burn the gel fuel. And it's so simple to enjoy. Just open the cans of gel fuel, light and place them behind the fireplace logs. Many models will handle up to 3 cans at a time allowing you to control the size of the flame. Each can will burn from 2 - 3 hours.

 The simplicity of the gel fuel fireplace makes them perfect for apartments, condos mobile homes, dens or offices. In fact, I can't think of any room that wouldn't benefit by the addition of a ventless fireplace. And because they are portable, you can move them from room to room even outside on your patio. I've heard of some cases where people have put them in almost every room of their home including the bathroom. Given how inexpensive they are compared to installing gas fireplaces or a real wood burning fireplace, you can afford to put them just about anyplace you want to create that special effect. Good quality gel fuel fireplaces can start as low as $200 - $250.

There is no question that a gel fuel fireplace is the best solution. It is the number 1 choice in ventless fireplaces. Let its warmth and charm fill just about any room in your home. It will provide a cozy gathering place for family and friends.
