Can you use gel canisters in decorative fireplace? My fireplace is decorative only- an old one that used to work, but doesn't any longer. I know you can buy the fake logs along with the gel canisters (such as Sungel) without having to buy the entire fireplace kit. My searching online says both that you can use the cannisters in a decorative fireplace if the flue is closed. Other searchs say there is no smell, fumes, smoke...and so implies that it wouldn't matter whether the flue was open or closed. Does anyone have any idea about this. Thanks for helping!

Does anyone know where I can buy a smaller case? Do any major retail stores or online sites offer this?

Need suggestions on decorating (color, blinds, etc)? My house has an open concept (the living room, dining room, and kitchen is in one big room. I have light peach tile in the entire area.

Question about converting from wood burning to gas or another fireplace that outputs heat? We have a wood burning fireplace that's an energy hog. Lots of cold air penetrates through it even with the damper closed. On top of that, it supposedly has a crack in the lining that will cost about $350 to fix. I hate it and don't use it. Do I have any options for getting an insert that will enable me to use the fireplace to generate heat? Maybe one of those ventless gel-fuel deals? If I get an insert or whatever else you suggest, please let me know if I'll need to fix the lining in order to use it. I do not have propane or natural gas in the house. Thanks! Please state if you're talking about a vented or a ventless option. Thanks!
I Want To Buy An Electric Fireplace? I live in an apartment where I do not control my heat. I live in New York State, so it gets pretty cold here. It is permissable to have a fireplace and I already know the pros and cons of having one. My question is: should I go with electric or use burning gels. Which is more realistic, economical and warmer. Can anyone recommend a particular site, store or brand? I have searhed all the sites I could think of and obviously came up with almost no information. I even tried consumer rated sites. HELP! It is getting cold real fast here!
