Gel burning fireplace inserts?

I have a fake fireplace made of what seems like a hard plastic and want to put a ventless gel burning insert inside, is this possible without danger? Are they insulated?

1. nope your asking for trouble, there fake made out of stuff that will burn,
2. not really usefull, totally for looks and way over priced. Keep in mind they are not meant to burn for long periods of time and in given circumstances may be a fire hazard. If you have gas hook up you might try looking into gas ventless- they actually produce heat and look ok, are insulated, and totally safe when professionally installed. Even electric fireplaces are more uselfull- although more costly to run - they do actually produce heat and look nicer.
