Info on gel-burning fireplace
I have a real fireplace in my family room, but was looking at one of the gel burning ventless fireplaces for my bedroom.
Anyone have one? How much heat is put out from them?
Thanks for any help.

It sounds like those things burn Sterno..
3,000 btu is pretty freakin' lame, about what a can of sterno would put out with a reflective surface behind it.
If the mess and labor of wood is a concern then go with a natural gas "fireplace" (usually 35,000 btu or higher), or a pellet burner.. not sure about the btu from pellet burners, but I'm sure it's higher than 3,000.

NOTE: Decorative fireplace is not designed to be a heat source, but it will take the chill out of the air. Fireplace reaches a temperature of about 160 degrees.
Each can of Sunjel outputs 3000 BTUs per hour and lasts about 3 hours. (For shorter burning times, fire can be extinguished and cans resealed and relit at a later time.) You can use up to 3 cans at a time.
Thats $23.03 per day or $690.09 a month!
Pellets are cheaper and they can heat an entire floor.

3 cans @ $3.29 ea to run 9 hours...... I sleep longer than that sometimes! Sounds expensive and a PIA!
