Are you cold and hearthless? Update your home with one of these no-fuss fireplaces
Ecosmart Fire Igloo
Created as a portable work of art, the Igloo’s sleek, minimalistic lines add an element of chic to any home. A stainless steel bench is suspended between the glass surround. This unique form allows the flame to “dance” in many directions off the reflective glass panels, generating ambience and warmth and ensuring a stunning centerpiece. Fueled by denatured ethanol – an environmentally friendly, renewable energy – the Igloo is clean and green. For more information, visit www.ecosmartfire.com.
Morso 3440
This environmentally friendly stove comes equipped with a convenient ash pan, making it easy to remove excess ash. The large window is kept clean thanks to Morso’s ‘state-of-the-art’ air-wash system. The Morso 3440 is a perfectly proportioned convection stove with rounded corners and smooth side panels. The well-balanced air supply ensures that all the fuel gases are burned, and this means that the wood-burning stove meets even the most stringent environmental requirements.

RAIS Gizeh
Like good wine, the RAIS Gizeh becomes more beautiful and interesting with time. The Gizeh changes appearance with the natural oxidation of cortén steel, which gives it a rusty look. The tall and slim pyramid-shaped stove is a stunning frame for a fire in the summer evenings with friends and family. Not only is the Gizeh a fireplace, it can double as an outdoor grill or even a beautiful garden sculpture. Find RAIS at North Country Stoves in Anchorage, Eagle River and Wasilla.

This coffee table brings new style to morning coffee or evening cocktails by the fire. Thanks to Planika Fires, you can keep the flames roaring without worrying about smoke, soot or odor.
