Question
hello james,

this may be a stupid question but here we go... is there a such thing as a fireplace that can be used without wood or a gas leak.. maybe electric logs??? (for home).

thanks!!!!!!! donna

Answer
Hello Donna, if I understand you correctly, you want some thing other than wood or gas to burn in your fireplace, if so then they do make electric logs (home depot/lowes)they even make a system that uses a can of fuel like they use in catering that heats trays of food. here is a quick search for these type of units be sure to check with your local building department     http://www.onewayfurniture.com/fireplace-mantles.html
