When directions are correctly followed, your ventless corner gas fireplace can provide emergency warmth, and it can create general ambiance for your home. Several different looks are available, ranging from an imitation black stove from Lowes Lumber Company to a sophisticated corner flame that burns bio-ethanol for a minimal gaseous output. In between these two extremes are traditional fireplaces where the flame is framed by stone or wood, with a mantel above. Or you might favor a southwestern USA style, with a shallow fire pit and high, arched opening. You can even get ventless fireplaces that are part of a corner cabinet, with the flame two or three feet above the floor. This might be a good choice for a family with small children or pets.
