Bio-Fuel Fireplace "Art"
Ok, very excited about the design, and green, possibilities of bio-fuel fireplaces for indoor, and more exciting to me, outdoor uses. Depending on design, these fireplaces can hang on a wall like an art piece or be part of a custom installation. Renewable, eco-friendly fuel –and the fireplace emits heat, unlike the silly electric fireplaces, which by the way, aren’t very green and don’t do much. Why not turn on the tv? Anyway, do a search on “bio-fuel fireplaces” . There are several companies that offer these. AND there is some eligibiltiy for a tax credit of up to $1,500 based on the application of this type of fireplace. Can’t wait to get one!
Below is an excerpt from a website that i think explains the bio-fuel fireplace pretty well.
Fireplaces have indeed come a long way. Homeowners today have a lot of choices. Although they can still choose to have a fireplace built permanently in their homes, those with smaller spaces can opt for the portable or wall mounted and eco-friendly fireplaces. These new styles of fireplaces are equally beautiful than the traditional ones and are capable of providing sufficient heat to families as well.
One type of fireplace ideal for smaller homes such as apartments and condos and smaller areas such as bedrooms is the biofuel fireplace. This is best for people with allergies. First made popular in Europe, biofuel fireplaces are now growing in use among homeowners in the U.S. and other countries.
The difference of biofuel fireplace from the traditional type is the absence of a chimney. Unlike the wood and gas burning fireplaces, this type burns biofuel instead. This means that it is an environment friendly alternative to the more expensive fossil fuels.
Biofuel is now a well known renewable form of fuel that does not pose hazards to the environment. The reason is that biofuel can be produced by using agricultural crops such as fruits, grains, potatoes, sugar beets and corn. And because the ingredients in producing biofuel are readily available locally, there will always be a steady supply going forward. You may be aware by now that biofuel is also popularly used to run vehicles. Apart from being environment friendly, biofuel has many other advantages.
Biofuel fireplaces normally come in a box type design with cover and can be moved from one place to another. There are also the wall mounted models ideal for areas with no extra floor space. Being movable, they are therefore more convenient to use.
Homeowners can also choose among the different materials for the firebox such as stainless steel or a combination of wood and steel. If none of the models available in the market suit their taste, you can always have one customized.
