Light My Fire
From Janet:
Burn bans, global warming, soaring natural gas bills. What’s a fire lover to do? EcoSmart Fire: simply put, a fire-in-a-box that can fit in a traditional fireplace, function as a freestanding unit, or be used in a variety of other configurations, indoors and out. Because it requires no flue and burns denatured ethanol, EcoSmart offers a clean, odorless flame and doesn’t need a utility connection. Go to ecosmartfire.com for retail locations.
In-wall unit; $4,500 to $5,200:
$2,300 for burner unit or $3,300 for unit plus retrofit for existing fireplaces:
. 
The free-standing unit (price range $5,900 to $8,700) is great for apartments:
My favorite: the traditional grate can be slipped into an existing fireplace or used on its own; $3,300:
