Aberdeen Domed Wall Mount Fireplace

Rating

I purchased this to mount in my livingroom since the house didn't come with a fireplace and with small children it would be out of their reach. I am very pleased with the look, however, I have not had the chance to light it. For now I have 3 pillar candles sitting in the space where the gel fuel goes. My father did have some difficulty mounting it to the wall. Overall, I am happy and the price was great. I saw it on other websites for more. I just wish I could find a few of the fuel cans in stores to try it out. I don't really want to buy the case of 24 but it looks like I will have to break down, otherwise this would be an expensive candle holder.

I love this fireplace! I bought 2! (different styles) It was SO EASY to put up on the wall by myself - didn't have to call anyone for assistance. I took a hint from another reviewer and added some insulation to the back of the unit. I primarily bought both fireplaces for an optional heat supply during a loss of heat emergency or occasional decorative use (social events, holidays) as the fuel price can add up. I have this one in my TV den ("renaissance" decor) and used the gel fuel cans for the first time watching the Inauguration in the evening. It gave the room a wonderfully cozy ambience and looked just great. I had been told 9000 BTUs isn't much but that it would warm a small room and by golly it DID! The gel cans did in fact burn the stated 2.5 - 3 hours and did not smell at all while burning. (If the fuel is extinguished and the can left open there is a slight alcohol scent.) It really does crackle and pop just like a wood burning fireplace. I do have a regular fireplace and the gel fire is SO much EASIER to clean up when done. It also looks great with the 3 inch pillar candles that are usually in it and gives that cozy look whether lit or not. Not having space/budget for the larger floor model gel fuel fireplace it was great to be able to buy this one that hangs on the wall for such a reasonable price. All that have seen it have complimented it highly and asked for all the details. Of course I brag about where I got it. I may have to have more guests to show it off with the fuel burning and will likely use it more often for my own enjoyment. IT's GREAT!
