These Babies Are HOT! Decorative Bioethanol Fireplaces By GlammFire.

Welcome to Fire Wonderland. This is what Portugal-based GlammFire, the newest company of Group Pachinha, aptly calls their collection of bioethanol decorative fireplaces.

In 2008, Marcelo Inacio launched GlammFire of Monção, Portugal. As the name suggests, the collection of indoor and outdoor fireplaces exude modern glamour, quality, functionality and, most importantly, ecology. Rural or urban, wall-mounted, inset, or floor standing, they present different, safe and ecological liquid ethanol and bioethanol burning models.

These unusual fireplaces are made with various materials such as lacquered MDF, ceramics, metals, glass and some styles are available with custom etching and leathers. The fashionable and unique collection of open and closed hearth fireplaces includes freestanding and wall-mounted styles for indoor, outdoor and even in the swimming pool. Designs that range from ultra-modern to rustic, many of the styles are even equipped with carbon monoxide detectors.

Product Pick Of The Week: The Stûv 21 Fireplace

Above: The Stûv 21 in rust

I love this fireplace because it's got storage, clean lines and a retractable door! And although it takes up space, it's not an eyesore.

And it comes with different claddings (the surround) so it can suit your interior.

How it works


The Stûv 21 makes use of a simple law of physics : natural combustion : air circulates in a double wall (1) around the hearth, heats up and escapes through purpose-built vents (2). One can also route some of that hot air to an adjacent room. So there is no fan, no noise, no risk of a breakdown, no electrical connection. The glass door remains clear : the air required for combustion sweeps the inner face (3) and prevents soot from making it dirty.

Integration into a low volume

Partial raising of the glass door allows the Stûv 21 to be integrated into a low horizontal space.

Limiting the travel of the glass door means the hearth height can be reduced by 15 to 25 cm depending on the model, and the stove can then be inserted into a low horizontal volume and thus break away from the traditional vertical shape.
It can also be inserted into an old fireplace.
