Portable Fireplaces

Portable fireplaces can cover a whole range of products from outdoor fireplaces to gel and propane fireplaces.  Just as the name says, these fireplaces can be moved from place to place within the home or to a new home when you move.  Portable fireplaces are more like furniture in a home than other types of fireplaces.

The main types of portable fireplaces are electric, gel, and propane.  Electric fireplaces can be moved from room to room and generally come with a simple plug in system.  This type of fireplace usually has a built in fan to distribute the heat into the room more effectively.  Most will have automatic shutoffs and anti tipping devices.

Gel fireplaces have been on the scene for a few years now and are increasing in popularity.  Cans of gel are lit and set behind the logs and give off a realistic looking flame with true crackling sound.  Portable Gel fireplaces are available in many styles from the traditional fireplace style with mantel to those that almost resemble picture frames or televisions and can in fact be hung on the wall.

Perhaps the most fun portable fireplaces are those meant for the outdoors.  Available in fire pit style or chimenea and fire pot styles they are both practical and beautiful and help turn your outdoors into an extra room for you home.

As with all fireplaces check the safety regulations and fire hazards associated with these products.
