Great Finds: Eco-Smart Fire

Historically, kitchen fireplaces have been the hearths of the home–necessary for cooking and heating. Although modern technology has made the medieval inglenook a thing of the past, fireplaces are anything but obsolete. Today, homeowners appreciate fireplaces for the unparalleled ambiance they create–and with the kitchen playing a key role in any household, hearths are alive in the heart of the home.

But for the eco-minded, is it possible to achieve such a mood and still be green? Yes. The Fire Company’s EcoSmart is fuelled by renewable, denatured ethanol. And because it creates no soot or smoke and needs no flue or utility connection for fuel, you can install it virtually anywhere.
