Gel Fuel

Whether you are just becoming introduced to gel fuel or if you are looking to stock up for the season, you may be interested to learn a little bit about it. Most people have heard that it's environmentally- friendly but many don't understand why it is labeled as such a trusted option. What makes gel fuel so much safer than just burning wood in a traditional fireplace?

Safe for Every Space

Since the fuel available here at Ventless Fireplace Pros, such as that by FireGlo, Real Flame and EcoLogo, does not require venting, it's suitable and safe for any size space. Yes, you really can have a fireplace in your small studio apartment, dorm or bedroom!

You may be wondering how this is even possible. After all, a fire is a fire, right? Wrong! Gel fuel emits absolutely no smoke and it doesn't use any of the oxygen in the space to burn either.

It's created from either ispropyl alcohol or ethanol alcohol that when burned, turns into harmless droplets of water. These droplets are not toxic in any way so they are not polluting your indoor or outdoor living space. All gel fuel at Ventless Fireplace Pros is both OSHA and EPA-approved so you can feel 100 percent confident that the product that you are burning is absolutely safe.

Choosing the Right Gel

Could there really be a right and wrong gel fuel? Absolutely! You already know that the product you choose should have the stamp of approval by the EPA and OSHA but there's more to it.

The reason Ventless Fireplace Pros sells Real Flame, EcoLogo and FireGlo is because of the quality that they provide. Sure, you may feel like you got a great bargain on cheap gel fuel you picked up at the store but when the can burns out in an hour, it's not going to feel like such a great deal now is it?

It is important to understand that you should be purchasing thick gel. Thinner gel does burn hot but it also burns incredibly fast whereas thicker gel offers a comfortable, long-lasting flame. Gel is carefully injected into cans during production and most cans of Real Flame gel Fuel will burn at 3,000 BTUs for around 3 hours. That's only about $1 per hour which is lot less than many people assume this type of fuel will cost!

If you prefer, there are also pourable varieties of gel fuel available at Ventless Fireplace Pros as well. Real Flame Citronella is a popular option for those using their fuel outdoors. Thanks to the attractive citronella scent, your deck, patio or pool area will be bug-free, even after the sun goes down!
