FireStones with Alcohol Gel Fireplace?

Question: I have a ventless free standing fireplace with a firebox in it, which came with alcohol fire gel cans that I light up with a match. Will your firestones work in a fireplace like this?

Answer: No. Your fireplace is constructed to only withstand the relatively low heat of the gel cans. It would not withstand the heat generated by any gas log set (or FireStones), whether the set was for vented or vent-free.

The burners we use with our FireStones sets are for use only in a fully vented fireplace in which it is safe to burn wood.

You could use the FireStone castings alone (no gas log burner - only the alcohol gel) in your fireplace, replacing the logs that came with the fireplace to acheive the look you desire.
