A portable fireplace! Has anyone tried one of those before? (Will it make a better s'more than my microwave?)

It will make pretty terrible s'mores. Gel fuel adds a major chemical taste to anything cooked directly over the flame.

I think there's a typo in the model number for the all-glass portable fireplace. Both the all-glass and the one with black/copper finish list the model as "SEI FA5847". From looking on Amazon, the all-glass one should be FA5867.

How expensive/hard is it to change out the 'fuel' on the fireplace?

Is the "gel fuel" for the fireplaces just Sterno or is it something proprietary?

If it's Sterno, changing it is cheap and easy.

Hopefully less than the Geologist will to search you for "ores".

On what planet are the two birds $169.99? Who in the world would buy two decorative birds for $169.99?

Seems to be available for about $2.50-$3.00/can on Amazon.

I like this bird better, if I'm going to spend that much.

Although it states, "Holds 2 cans of FireGlo Gel Fuel", can yoou use any type of gel fuel? Are all gel fuels equal?

I used to have a fondue pot that used the sterno gel fuel and that was an exercise in frustration that I lost. That stuff would not stay lit for more than a minute and I don't live in a drafty cave. Well, not exactly anyway. My point is, I don't know the answer to your question but there is no way I would buy anything that used gel fuel. I'm very happy and not frustrated with my new electric fondue pot!

Do you not see the glass panels blocking the wind?
