Burner Fireplace

For those who longs for the cosy warmness of a real fireplace but cannot own a traditional fireplace with an installed chimney, you could consider the burner fireplace. This type of fireplace comes in three varieties. You can find vent-free, direct vent and traditional vent. Traditional vent is the least common type of burner fireplace because it is made to work with your existing chimney. If you have a chimney, you are probably going to use the fireplace that is already there or have a masonry fireplace constructed.


Vent free fireplaces are ideal for rental homes, apartments and even homeowners because they require no installation whatsoever. You just place them where you want them and turn them on as instructed in the owner's manual. There are all kinds of vent free fireplaces from small ones enclosed in glass to large ones that feature not only the fireplace but attached mantel. A mantel is the area above your fireplace with attached shelf where decor items can be placed. One of these fireplaces with an attached mantle will look as close to a traditional wood burning fireplace as you can get. Along with a beautifully decorated mantel and realistic burner log, you can get aromatherapy items that smell like a crackling fire.

Before purchasing any kind of ventless fireplace you should check with your local government to make sure it is up to code for your area. Most people will be able to use one of these portable fireplaces in their home or apartment because they are made to be safe. When it comes to the weight, it will depend on how large the fireplace is and whether or not it comes with a surrounding mantel area. You will find gas burning fireplaces that look like boxes enclosed in glass and those that look like they belong in a palace.

Comparison shopping is important when looking for a burner fireplace. The more models you view the more likely you are to choose the right one for your home. The majority of gas burning fireplaces will come with a return policy and warranty. This protects you if you get your fireplace home and decide you hate it or if you experience technical difficulties with installation or operation. Just make sure to keep all receipts and invoices, and register for any available warranties immediately after purchase.
