Technology has really brought life into a whole new level! Before, when it comes to fireplaces, people immediately think of the traditional ones in which woods are always needed to keep the fire burning. However, today, with the newest inventions, electric fires are now available. This means that it is now possible to keep the house warm without the use of fire. Aside from the fact that it is hassle-free, it also is way safer. The innovation of fireplaces does not stop in the invention of electric fires as now, portable fireplaces are out in the market as well.

When people talk about fireplaces most of us still envisage the traditional fireplace set in the wall of the main living room with a wood or stone surround and a chimney to allow the smoke or fumes to escape. Indeed this can bring a glow to the mind thinking of the flames crackling away dispersing heat around the room. Nowadays people want more, what could be more beneficial than a fireplace that you can move around to whichever room you want to heat and even take outdoors to warm the patio on a cool summer evening while entertaining friends or family.

This is now possible and has been available since the 1990's in Europe and even longer in Australia and the USA, the portable fireplaces are even available with a choice of fuels or electrically powered , making them even more popular. We have all seen the traditional patio heaters that are run by gas bottles but these can be too large for many patios so small burners can be used which are heated by bio-ethanol canisters or wood burners.

Some of the smaller models are even designed to sit on shelf's in the room and they are completely safe to use, many have a fuel cut out which will kick in if the portable fireplace has been knocked over. Models can range from a simple burner with no surround to a model that contains burners housed in a stylish stainless steel container making them ideal for the modern house. There is such a large range to choose from that most suppliers will have a model to suit your needs and your budget, some suppliers will even supply bespoke models that are crafted to your own personal design.

Electric models are no longer the traditional heating bars that we are all used to, they can be supplied with a realistic flame design using artificial pebbles, coals or stones on top of the heating elements. They are often sold in a stylish cabinet and some models will be supplied with a remote control to allow you to adjust the heat without leaving your chair.
