Walking into a traditional style home, you normally see the fireplace in the living room where hardly anyone sits.
 They enter there on rare family occasions.
 But, those family occasions seem to be even more special because of the inclusion of the fireplace.
The greatest stories ever told often highlighted a fireplace in them.
 There are many stories that have placed the logs of fire in the living room as the center of focus.
 Heathcliff and Catherine in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights arguably had their most passionate conversations in the living room where the family hearth invited.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin seemed to center around the living room's mantel for much of the story.
 In fact, the list of great literature that mentions the mantel piece in the living room is very long and distinguished.
 It's no wonder so many people naturally assume that the fireplace belongs in the living room.
But, that's not so.
 They are equally comfortable in the den, the basement, the playroom, and the dining room.
 They can make your life even more pleasurable in the kitchen, the bathroom and even in the bedroom.
 Not many people are ready to think outside the box when it comes to fireplaces and their placing, but they can go just about anywhere.
Condominium and apartment units offer the greatest amount of trouble for providing each unit with its own mantel piece.
 But, a Ventless Gel Fireplace unit makes it possible.
 They don't need a chimney or a hearth.
 They really don't even need a mantel.
But, we haven't even scratched the surface yet on the many uses for the VGF.
 I once witnessed a family enjoying theirs on a camping trip.
 They put their VGF in the camper and took it with them.
 They set it out at night when they were sitting around outside enjoying the night air and took it back in when they all went inside to get a good night's sleep.
One man I know enjoys his crackling fire in the garage.
 "Just like a pot belly stove," he exclaims, "it keeps my coffee warm every bit as much as it keeps my hands warm when I'm working on the car.
" I can't argue with that at all.
 The Sunjel does tend to throw off a good bit of heat.
I've seen the Ventless Gel Fireplace in restaurants, offices and banquet halls.
 It really has come along way since just being installed in the living room and left there to collect dust until another rare family occasion.
 More and more people are enjoying them more often and that's the key.
 It's so inexpensive, it can be enjoyed all the time.
