This is where our wood stove was supposed to be but because we have been having a hard time finding someone to come in and get the wood stove put in – daddy decided that he would buy a gel fireplace instead. They are a lot smaller and don’t take up too much space and a lot safer and no ashes and smoke to worry about or to deal with. Plus they look and sound like real fire places and there isn’t really a fire in there, so no worries about it being a fire hazard. But it does give out heat to keep us warm in the basement and a lot cheaper too, I love this idea a lot better. So hopefully, the gel fireplace will come really soon.
