Portable Fireplace

Posted on March 30th, 2009 by admin

Its name is Vidro, made by German company Blomus. Built out of glass and stainless steel, it’s fueled by gelled ethanol. Since ethanol produces no soot, smoke or ash, it’s suitable for houses without a chimney. There’s even a smaller version that, at just 22 inches, means you can put it on a shelf. They cost between $969 and $1,174, and I really hope the large one has little casters underneath it. How cool — and, yet, hot — a skateboard would it make without the glass walls?
