The tradition of gathering around the fire is a habit as old as the notion of civilization in it of itself. However many people are opting to live in apartments many of which don’t come with an incorporated fireplace. Aside from electric fireplaces, portable fireplaces have grown in popularity. Not only are they versatile, but they also come in different shapes and designs.

These fireplaces can be used in both dwelling, and insert models and seen as they don’t have the constraints related to ventilation restrictions, this gives designers many opportunities to put their creativity to the test.

These smaller fireplaces are usually designed to emit their flames from a container. They’re light and easy to carry, being easily placable on floors, table tops or counters. If you think about it they’re not really different from using candles.

As a matter of fact these fireplaces, aside from being more innovative in their design, they are also eco-friendly. You no longer have to concern yourself with matters such as ecological consequences, cost or even the inconvenience of burning wood. There’s also the advantage that they provide a 360-degree warmth seen as the heat doesn’t go up a chimney. The amount of heat provided by these smaller fireplaces depends on the size of the fireplace.
