Apollo Tabletop Fireplace by Carl Mertens is Pretty if it Doesn’t Burn Your House Down First

Unfortunately a lot of homes have lost that pre-war charm; the high ceilings, exposed bricks, and fireplace. But if you long for days of roasting chestnuts by the fireplace would you settle for roasting them on your coffee table? The Tea Light and Fireplace by Carl Mertens is a unique portable fireplace that is made of “18/10 stainless orbit tea light holder” surrounded by glass and a metal base. Only fuel that will not melt glass or the special metal should be used and as it says in the instructions “Keep face and hair away while lighting!!!!” As well as kids, drafts, and don’t touch the fireplace while the flame is burning. For $650.00, this sounds way to dangerous for me and I think I’ll just go and look at picture of a fireplace from Google images. Maybe there is a reason why fireplaces aren’t as popular anymore.
