Question:

You've had similar questions before, but let's try again, just in case there is something new in this area...

We live in a condo, 24 floors up, no gas and no chimney. My girlfriend would like to have a fireplace (wouldn't we all).

I know that having a propane tank indoors is not legal. Are there other alternatives? I have a large deck... How far away from the "inside" would the tank have to be. I hate the idea of this big tank sitting between me and my view. Got any ideas (besides moving or getting a new girlfriend)?



Answer:

There are real nice electric and alcohol fireplaces. It's probably not legal for you to have LP tanks up there connected to an indoor fireplace.

Try http://www.innohearth.com and http://heatnglo.com for electric fireplaces.
