Can I buy or make an insert to convert my faux electric fireplace into a gel burning one?

by Fire Places on May 19, 2010

I have a faux electric fireplace, but would like to convert it to one that I could use the logs that burn gel canisters (sterno). I wonder if anyone knows how to build an insert fire box, or where I can purchase one.

You would likely need a vent free gas log fireplace insert. I would try northline express or house of fire first.

Careful here.
An electric fire requires no vent.
Any thing that burns large quantities of fuel does.

(Even if the ‘Sterno’ doesn’t produce carbon monoxide, (It might),
it certainly does use up a lot of oxygen.)
