Portable Outdoor Fireplaces - ethanol outdoor fireplace Lighthouse by Planika

It’s a “lighthouse” in every sense of the work – a beacon in outdoor entertaining, a portable outdoor fireplace that runs on ethanol. According to its maker, Planika, the main idea behind the Lighthouse fireplace was “to adorn spaces and to navigate people to wander inside a fire lit dwelling. People are naturally attracted to beauty and have been naturally attracted to fire ever since the first spark.” A simple stone base is capped by an artistic web which encloses the fire itself – the real star of the show that burns a clean-burning fuel. These portable fireplaces help make your outdoors warm, alive with dancing light and buzzing with conversation. For more info on the Lighthouse ethanol fireplace, visit Planika.
