Bio Fuel Fireplaces are smokeless and odorless and can be used indoors or outdoors
Fireplaces are truly an amazing experience. Sitting beside the fire and enjoying the crackling sound of the wood, is something most people love to do. Fireplace refers to a structure, which is used for containing fire primarily for the purpose of ambiance. In the ancient times it was also used for the purpose of cooking as well. The fire is lit in a firepit or firebox, and a flue or chimney directs the combustion gases, as well as particulate exhausts to the open air. Fireplaces have a very long and illustrious history. In the ancient times, firepits were dug in ground inside a dwelling. The smoke and combustion gases used to escape through the holes of the roof.
Early fireplaces were generally constructed from masonry, stone or brick. They also included a masonry type chimney, some with tile liners. Those early fireplaces were very in efficient and today most fireplaces are factory built metal units. Factory built zero clearance fireplaces offer a dramatic increase in efficiency compared to the early fireplaces.
In addition to wood burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces have become very popular. Now there are also Bio Fuel Fireplaces. One of the best features of bio fuel fireplacesis that wood or gas is not required as fuel. Yet they give a feel, which resembles that of a traditional wood burning fireplace.
