2. Description of Related Art
A fireplace provides a structure that is typically used to burn logs in an indoor environment. The typical fireplace has a flue that allows smoke to escape created by the fire that contained within a center opening (firebox) of the fireplace. Due to the heavy maintenance and manual labor associated with a conventional fireplace some individuals use electrically powered or gas-powered fireplaces to create an image of a fire and in some cases a heat source associated with a fire image. Artificial or faux fireplaces may be electrically powered and in some cases gas-powered to create the full heat-exchange effect. Some faux fireplaces are portable and allow the user to place the fireplace in multiple locations in some cases outdoors. Other portable fireplaces are exclusively available for indoor use.
