apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ventless. Illegal in NYC. Oh, Apartment Therapy, why do you torment me so??

Why bother having a wood storage bin for a fireplace that burns alcohol? That's just so not cool. If it's a fake fireplace, then it should look like a fireplace!

If you live in California and you're dreaming of a fireplace, check out Malm. They sell wood-burning and vented (not ventless) gas fireplaces.

I have the firedrum 2 in white (in NYC) and I am working on getting a gas logset put inside.

I wonder if this is somehow DIYable using a fireplace that is actually legal.

loving this...and the accompanied shelving really swell idea. I like the wood props. still gives the illusion of.

I love the cherub painting in the first image ... any idea who the artist is?

i NEED this! i'm not having any luck finding prices. i'm certain they're dirt cheap : )

has anyone come across links to US retailers or prices?

if you click on the link jeffnyc, you can find the US distributor. don't see any prices. you know what that means...

btw... illegal in NYC. i won't tell if you don't.

If you look at the site this is actually a wood-burning fireplace. They do have some alcohol fireplaces, but I've been concerned they are not really worth it.

In an article in the NYT a little while back, a reviewer basically said it was not much better than lighting a few candles in terms of the flame you get. Another commenter I saw on a blog somewhere basically said "watching a burner on a gas stove is more exciting."

Has anyone else had experiences with alcohol-fueled ventless fireplaces? And are those really illegal in NYC, or is it just the gas ventless fireplaces?

Two words: WANT !
