Product Reviews for:

These are the the fuel cans necessary for indoor fireplace. After checking many different websites I realized - as usual Overstock has the best prices!!! When in doubt, Overstock will beat the rest out!!

I used a different brand in the past, which I loved. I figured, how different can this new brand be. How about very different! Although the crackling of the flame was nice, my house was covered in soot. My air purifier filters turned black. Disgusting. I didn't smell the fuel while it burned, but it had an awful smell when it burned out. My recommendation is try a different brand. I can't imagine the other reviewers didn't experience the filth and smell.

Using these FireGlo Fuel cans with a gel fuel Fireplace is extremely convenient. because the upfront costs are so low. However, if you live in colder climates like up here in the Northeast, the fuel can solution gets pricey. During the winter, I like to spark up the fire in order to warm up the house quickly. The forced air we have takes a little while to bring up the temperature but running the gel fireplace quickens the process. The cans generally don't produce a smell UNTIL they get to the end of the can. Then they generally produce a propane-like smell. The cans last about 2 hours to 2 3/4 hours. So burning the fireplace all day is usually not an option because it would be to costly. I normally only use the gel fuel when there is a chill in the air I want to knock out quickly or on special occasions. I have also noticed a darkening of our olive-colored paint and ceiling above our wall-mounted gel fireplace. The cans do provide a good amount of heat and they allow me to warm up the (part of the) house quicker than just using our forced-air heat. I also enjoy the crackling sound produced by the bubbles in the can. It actually sounds better than a real fire. Overall, the cans produce a good amount of heat and ambiance but they are very expensive to use often or for long periods of time.

The canisters emit an initial odor that is unpleasnt and repeat this again much more strongly as they are burning down to the end. The cans do not last as long as I had thought they would. You get about 2 to 2 and half hours max out of them. The plus is they really do produce a large and interesting flame pattern like a real fireplace would and it snaps and crackles while burning like real wood.

This product gives off heat and has a nice appearance, which is good. But, the downside to this is when you out the fuel fire. A nasty burning alcohol smell comes from the smoke. This causes a lot of work for me because my smoke alarm goes off and I have to end up opening the window for a while. Then I have to remind myself to close it. For an outdoor makeshift fireplace, this works. For indoors, not so much.

Love this item, I was very pleased to see that the company removed the paper around the can makes it a lot better to use, you don't have to peel it off. Puts off enough heat to nock the chill out of the air.

as an appreciative customer of overstock.com products - i purchased a ventless fireplace...the information i received at time of purchase was accurate and the instruction for assembly was understandable....the fuel gel that is used in this fireplace is easy to handle and burns just as clean and odor free as advertized...i live in a small home in Idaho...the winters are very cold at times....i use my fireplace with its fuel gel to bring ambiance and comfort to my home...i use two cans of fuel gel and it warms my living room and kitchen reducing the setting on my thermostat...often in Idaho we have 'no fireplace' use regulation due to severe atmosphereic pressures; i do not fall into that category with this fireplace as it does not release residue in the air...i love my fireplace and its fuel gel, i would recommend these products without reservation......

It's not difficult to find good prices on gel cans, but I like these because they burn closer to 3 hours than two, and you don't have to peel off the label. Good value!

In order to use the logs that I purchased form my fireplace, I have to have gel fuel. I purchased the log set last year to be used over the winter and purchased the gel fuel with them. When I wanted to purchase more fuel I found that there was only one place to buy them and they were overpriced. I was very glad to find them available at a considerably lower price from Overstock.com. I really enjoy the log set and the ease of using the gel fuel. Since a member of my family has asthma, it is not possible to burn wood logs in the fireplace. I've found the alternative to be very enjoyable.

Works well. Does crackle just like the reviews said. It also puts out heat. Would definitely recommend this product

I was pleased to receive the Fire Glow. I was a little dissappointed after I opened the box I notice the cans had expired in Sept 2007 I received the cans in November. The cans did not last for three hours. The performance of the cans are great though. Oh and just be careful putting out the fire!

The glo cans are perfect for the fireplace I purchased, upon lighting them, they even have a nice little snap,crackle and pop to them. I only wish they lasted longer than 2-3 hours, but they do produce a nice warmth to the room and generate some heat.

I was pleased with the amount of heat the cans gave off. We dropped down from 3 cans to 1 can. Crackle and flame are nice. Now for the down side...emits a heavy chemical smell when it burns down to the end. Who knows what we're breathing in. The soot discolored the white fireplace, walls and nearly everything in the room. We need to paint in the spring. Looking for an alternative.

Ordering more. We burn these long enough to heat a basement room nightly. Once the room is heated, we put out the fire. We burn three at a time and I'd say that we get nearly a week out of them. By the way, they give off great ambiance as well. Would be wonderful if they lasted a little longer.

I purchased the FireGlo Fuel to go with the wall mount fireplace, also purchased from Overstock. We have enjoyed the crackling sound the FireGlo Fuel cans put out. It is a natural wood burning sound that adds character! We also use them with another fireplace, fake logs, and it really looks and sounds like real flames burning. Very happy with this product and will purchase again. Doesn't leave residue. When first lighting I smell a VERY faint smell of the gel but it goes away quickly.

Gel fuel works as it was described, altough on one can we had a serious issue with smoke as it was burning down to the last bit of fuel. The other three cans we had used did not have this issue. Hope none of the rest do either.

I don't understand how so many people gave this glowing reviews. I just set up everything for my wife (xmas present) in the bedroom and the smell that radiated was chemically'. The gel itself smelled like strong alcohol which was fine, but when activated for 5 minutes, the room became covered in this awful chemical smell. It was unbearable and terrifying in a sense. I tried googling if this was normal or harmful but can't find an answer. We ended up capping the can and I am now searching for an electric fireplace. The one we picked is convertible so hopefully we can just find the proper insert because I dont plan on spending our nights fearing for the worst for a little atmosphere. That said, I have 23 unused cans if anyone would like them.

Great gel fuel for the fireplaces sold on Overstock.com. Not cheap, but so worth the money. Each can will last you a couple of hours. If you opened a can one night for a fire and got some gel leftover, you might need to stir it with a chopstick the next day to get the fire going again. You barely smell these gel fuel cans. Only a bit when you put out the fire, but it doesn't bother me. I love the crackling sounds, and it has a beautiful flame when lit.
